Yes Dave,
Yes Norm,I always seem to have something that clashes with that show.One day I will get there.Have met Trev a few times at different shows along with quite a few other members.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Yep’ Dave, a lot of motor and you only needed a car licence to drive it, my Dad
long gone said the HGV1 licence I held was not a new thing, he said there was a
form of the same thing at some time prior to the on-set of World War Two I do
know and have seen some sort of permit my Mother held she drove a six wheeler
and drawbar for the Ministry of Supply during the war years but I think this was
more authorization to drive than a licence, a woman driver was a rarity anyway
in those days, she used to do night trunk Lancaster to Carlisle return five nights
a week, her “trailer boy” was an elderly chap who could barely get in and out of
the cab. At no time did she say she never got there and back, I think the Yanks
kept all dodgy bits (Shap) etc open i heard they sprayed salt petre by the tanker
load to keep the road open, I wonder did she say “happy days” very often.
thanks harry, long retired.

You can certainly say that lorry driving ran in the family in your case Harry.A lot of us had lorry driving Dad’s,but your Mother driving in those day s would be rare as you say.My Mother drove cars,but nothing bigger.
Cheers Dave.
Just been reading about charity auction, they think it will be on feb 23rd at cannock, I will see if I can make it. should get a train from our town easy, I will have to check.
I won’t make that one Norm.I expect the Shropshire Truckshow will be our first one in May.
Cheers Dave.

You will have to come to Gaydon Norm,we usually try to get to those shows.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Never done the Gaydon thingy, i’ts a bit far for me, now that is a hard
thing for a knackered old tramper to admit to.If I knew someone from
up here was going and he was willing I’d gladly pay the fuel both ways.
thanks harry, long retired.

Eh?? Harry you MUST remember to take the medication regularly.
Brian , our Harry is no mug! , if he was able to get a lift down, he would have time to drink half of a bottle of malt on tthe way down, 
and the other half on the way back. And still manage all the free drinks from his fans. 
I think there is a licenced bar at Gaydon,outside set up under cover.I think quite a few have an overnight BBQ and drink which they supply themselves.
Cheers Dave.
Dave I have a good idea, what if we can persuade Ang to come and Harry to assist with the fuel, and we can all meet up at the show.
