Seasons Greetings to you and yours
Regards. John.
Hiya,
I worked for many hauliers in my time “old 67” but I genuinely can’t remember where the wash
was at any of them, I didn’t do washing, in the yard park up hand in the paperwork get to know
to know what was on tomorrow and across to the pub before going home, if the Guvnor wanted
a shiny motor get the yard man to shine it I’d had the thing all day and it was a tool for my job
not my hobby or the love of my life, I did work for one haulier who used to park my tractor on
the wash alongside his Jag and always early on a Sunday morning he used to wash both motors
he never once mentioned it to me and I didn’t want to spoil his pleasure, I once drove my car
past the yard and there he was oilskins and wellies and I swear I detected a smile on his face.
thanks harry, long retired.
Hey “H”,Trev H has been “bad mouthing” Scania 80’s so I think you and me should pay him a visit with a pick shaft apiece to put him straight !! Cheers and All the best to you and yours for Christmas and I hope you have a very Happy and healthy 2015 Dennis.
Hiya,
Dennis, have you met our Trev I think it would take more than thee and me armed with pick
shafts to topple that fellah’ he’s the type of chap who is better as a friend than as an enemy
and just so long as he keeps bad mouthing them 80 thingy’s he’ll remain my best friend in the
world, so Dennis your on your own with this one but don’t come running to me when it’s gone
■■■’s up I’m unavailable, I don’t push my luck and I’m also crap at first aid, Anyway Dennis my
friend the seasons greetings to you and your good lady, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
thanks harry, long retired.
I’ve met Trev several times, as you have Harry. Dennis might get a shock when he looks up at him.
Cheers Dave.

Quite agree Harry, a nice bloke. Met him at several lorry shows and at The Hollies Cafe breakfast meet, a couple of years ago, which isn’t far from his home. Likes his bikes does Trev. Always arrives on a motorbike when I’ve seen him.
Cheers Dave.
Blimey, I was reading this and thought I’d kicked the bucket and this was my obituary
Dave, you’ve probably only seen me on a motorbike as I don’t have a car, can’t stand the things. Mind you I have 3 bikes and I am constantly reminded, “why 3 you’ve only got one backside”
I’ve only have met great guys from this site and I have a lot of respect for blokes that were pounding the highway when I was still in a pram, they were the grafters !

Sorry to lower the tone on the revered ‘H’ thread, but Dave’s mention of the famous Hollies reminded me of an old Morecambe & Wise sketch where Eric’s looking at a pile of records and says ‘you got me by the hollies’

Hiya,
Embarrassed he may get, upset, I hope not for Old Norman’s sake.
thanks harry, long retired.
He’s been scouring Northampton looking for Norm for a few days now Harry.
Cheers Dave.
Hiya,
I can just picture it now Dave, Norman’s bowling cap poking out of the top of a bear-hug.
thanks harry, long retired.
Nowt from the man who is hunting him Harry. Will have to see if Norm’s been in hiding around Northampton.
Cheers Dave.
Hiya,
Dave, we all know that Norm’s a potter’er he could be hiding in the potting shed, the Colleen
could be smuggling his food and drink under the cover of darkness, they are very close.
thanks harry, long retired.
Hiya,

obeyed I’d like to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

hairstyle, there you go says she again I’ve had my hair this way for the last five years told
you she retorted you notice nothing, I’m wearing a gas mask you blind sod, followed by a
clip round the earhole.
thanks harry, long retired.

Cheers Dave.

Hiya,
Been getting myself fit for the Geordie Truckers “Do” which was yesterday, a good time
was had by all and I got a little cuddle from Ang, It’s not like your average “Do” where a
venue is laid on specifically for a certain time the Labour Club in Newcastle is where we
meet and people turn up as and when they feel like it, also the room is used by the club
members at the same time so there’s new faces popping in and out all the time I think
that is the way for these things to be “disorganised” as opposed to “organised” that way
no food to arrange, I’ve noticed at the other “Do’s” I’ve attended the amount of stuff that
is wasted, our meet is usually held in the afternoon so most of the lads will have had the
midday meal before making their way to the “Do” so just having a drink with former work
mates and lads you’ve got to know over the years, a really pleasant time with no schedule
to stick to is the way forward for driver meet-ups just set a time and a venue central for
everybody stick the date on Trucknet and that’s it no need to, I personally travel to and
fro by bus which for me is more or less door to door and being a bit ancient it’s zero cost.
thanks harry, long retired.

Sounds good Harry. I don’t like formal or organised do’s. We had an informal Christmas get together in the village hall a couple of weeks ago,where anybody out of the parish just turned up with a bottle or a few cans and some bites or whatever and had a natter and a laugh, all sat around have a dozen tables all pushed together. We had a CD player in the background, but nobody bothered. There was 20 or so people there and we spent a few hours chatting, which was a great social evening.
There was a lady there that I hadn’t met before,and when I asked her how long she had lived here, she said 3 years, and I can see the roof of her house from our place. Different world to when I was young, everyone knew one another, but the jobs and shop/post-office and school have all gone, and people don’t get to know one another.
Cheers Dave.
Hiya,
My youngest daughter had her 40th birthday a couple of weeks back, her husband
had arranged a secret do for her at a large nearby pub and secret it was, she had
no idea until she walked through the pub door how Dave her husband had done it
I’ll never know the only downside for me was, Harry you’re getting dressed up the
others will all be properly dressed you’ve guessed it there’s H like a tailors dummy
and everyone else casual in jeans and tee-shirts my normal attire, I did say I’ll be
the only one there but got the usual David’s Mam and Dad will be dressed up and
we’re going to be the same how wrong she could have been we were the only two.
thanks harry, long retired.
Happy New Year to you Harry and everyone on trucknet, I am hopeing next year will be a little kindered to us.
