He’s got shades on as well Vic,I just bet he was “one smooth dude” !!! Cheers Dennis.PS and a pair of those daft Scholl clogs on as well!!

I hope it’s not “H” driving the Scania when he was “doing a bit” over the water !!! Otherwise I’ll be in the ■■■■ !!! Cheers Dennis.

It can’t be “H” Dennis there’s no Consett “red dust” on the motor!!!

hiya,
The only over the water I did Dennis was a spot of Irish back in the year dot,
unless you count my very early days 18 to 20 when driving in the Far East
but play the white man I was never that “narrer” even as a bairn, he never
stopped for a Jungle breakfast I’ll dare bet, and getting back to the Irish I
still get shoulder ache from pulling them in on the old Stranraar road, had
a run up that way with the car a while back a much better road now, it just
might tempt me out of my armchair methinks.
thanks harry, long retired.

Irecall drapers werent they maroon with cream lettering and came out of essex somewhere , Im probably wrong and I am sure someone on here wil correct me, fredm

Aye, Drapers used to do a lot of work out of Procter & Gambles at West Thurrock in the 60s & you are correct about their livery, Regards Larry.

Great pic of the ERF 8 wheeler, Bubbs :smiley:

Brussel Sprout and Wheelbarrow ( as they were known ) were opposite Chippenham Market, for anyone that is interested… They had two of these and two Ford D series 6 leggers with V8’s in. Both of the ERF’s had ■■■■■■■ 250’s and Fuller boxes. I did a lot of deliveries for them, when I first started driving, with my ancient D-series 4 wheeler… :smiley:

Great days and a great gang of blokes to work with - I used to really enjoy the farm deliveries. Not too sure when they packed up but it was a long time ago - late eighties perhaps?

Thanks for the memory, Bubbs. Magic! :smiley:

A few early Bowker Bros wagons



Nice to see an oldie from Oxford, Bubbs (Timbmet Roadtrain).
