I have the same problem John,been told not to upload onto photobucket until the middle of the month.
Cheers Dave.
The Garringtons pic reminds me that they had a place at Bromsgrove.It was GKN when I was going in and you could queue for hours in there to get tipped.It was nearly as bad as Austins at Longbridge. 
That Peter Slater motor won’t be in that condition long. 
Self raising flour…good one Malc.

Hi Marcus had the same problem I think he now uses tinypic.com/
Regards Pat
Spoke to Marcus last night hes got his computer out of crawler and should be in top gear and back in the fast lane in the next couple of days.
Everyone should be commended for keeping the scrapbook flag flying with some great pictures well done.
I was at James Nuttalls yard in Rochdale over the weekend i have added some up-to-date pictures of the depot already and will be adding more during the week to the James Nuttall gallery on the Northwest Trucks web site.

What happened to Pointers? I remember they went to Anglian Transport and then RMC or maybe the other way round,and then what,anybody know?Hello Chris
The size it grew to brought about it’s end. The group had to go public. RMC then bought the whole group, but in December 1973 RMC reorganised its operations and sold off much of the Pointer fleet and depots. The 68 strong tanker fleet was sold to Mitchell Cotts, which became Anglian Transport. Pointers mobile crane division became Quinto Crane Hire.John
Hi John,thanks pal,Mitchell Cotts was the one name I couldn’t remember.They did a lot of work for Dow Chemicals at Kings Lynn.
I have asked previously what happened to Mitchell Cotts. I remember trying to buy an old 7.5 tonner box from Balderton where the Lightning fighter is slowly falling to pieces. The colour scheme was very distinctive with blue diamond or white diamonds depending on your perspective 
Have gone on to Tinypic as ainacs suggested, but how do you post more than one pic at a time, not same as Photo B
Took ages to load these from Tinypic, does anyone know how to load more than one at a time same as Photo Bucket?
The three Sentinel 6w tippers are all of Little Haywood Transport Co Ltd Park St Burton on Trent, part of the R E Mason Group
hiya,
The Humber Warehouseing guy must have been giving it a bit wellie to do that damage, and bet he got the order of the boot, and just look at fleet No he’s well and truly behind the 8 ball.
thanks harry long retired.

The accident happened in 1964 under Lincolns Newport Arch which was 1800 years old the driver was 22 year old Russell Tucker, after this lorries were banned from the area.

They learned from that incident North of the Humber too
Without upsetting this lorry thread, this is an AEC Regent with a Beverley Bar body and was used to allow a full size bus under an historic arch in Beverley East Yorkshire.
Where were we, oh yes lorries, sorry
hiya,
Wonder if Russell is still punching them about he’s 65 now and did he carry on driving all his working life, bet he still pulls his shoulders in when coming up low bridges/arches.
thanks harry long retired.
Another lovely bunch, flatman. Sorry you’re having technology trouble though.
Can I just cast your mind back to the first pic of the batch you put on a couple of days ago (now vanished). Was that Viney’s motor a Rutland? My father drove a Rutland 6-wheeler for Tone Vale Transport in the mid to late 1950s - didn’t have a wraparound windscreen like that though - and I don’t think I’ve ever seen another.

Is this the one, Leyland powered bought in 1956
