Hi Graham

Is the yellow Scania that you mention an ‘08’ plate? If its the lorry I’m thinking of, I always thought it was owned by someone else ( I won’t say his name for obvious reasons… ). The ‘owner’ comes in to us occasionally with various bits of kit on the back. He always gives me the impression that his arse is on fire ‘His’ occasional driver, on the other hand, is a nice bloke and an interesting fella to talk to…far more relaxed about the whole job!
