Never had anything to do with the CB bit too hi-tech for me I just used to tweak
the pump a bit and let the black smoke do the talking, red indian style.

hiya,
I’m surprised to hear the CB is still used I thought the hands free gizmo’s would be
the in thing nowadays, I haven’t got one of them either just an elderly mobile I
keep in the car just for emergencies, the missus usually uses a bit of airtime as
we travel about but we never use the free minutes up and as for texting I know
nowt about that at all, just lack of interest I suppose,bring back steam I say.
thanks harry, long retired.

I use my mobile phone more than the land-line Harry,as I have free calls to landlines on my contract. The drivers out of the quarries this way all have phones,but the CB’s are useful for telling one another where to find different materials in the quarries,or to tell one another when to take their sheet of when waiting to tip tarmac etc.
Some of the firms such as C W Griffiths also have their own two way radio systems as well.
Cheers Dave.
I sincerely hope that “H” and Norm threw some coins into the Red Nose collection buckets but declined the offer of “red noses” on the grounds that no-one would notice any difference !! Boom boom!! Cheers Anon1.

hiya,
Now then Mr Anon I’ll have you know that since I’ve retired I have developed
a bright red conk and a very large stomach to match and they are there at
tremendous expense, when grafting I was as lean as a Gypsies greyhound a
testament to how hard I grafted to line the pockets of the many hauliers I
worked for over the years, but now I’m “out of collar” I can let it all hang out.
thanks harry, long retired

hiya,
Dave, I’m trying to pluck up courage to face the full length bedroom mirror,
you understand this is for medical reasons only to check if I’ve still got most
of the things I was born with, I may have to snort a line or two of cocaine
even before I can take such a brave step, hope the wife’s wedding present
is still there.
thanks harry, long retired.
At least you can see your belly in the mirror.Some of the drivers I’ve seen over the years would want a reflection of a shop window to see theirs.
Cheers Dave.
I will have to tell Dennis, I am not in the habit of throwing money about, not since I was a young lad throwing pennies into a bucket, when the carnival used to travel through the town & collecting for the hospital. 
Norman Ingram:
I will have to tell Dennis,
If you see me with a bucket Norm,just throw £2 coins into it,save you throwing all that shrapnel. 
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Now Dave don’t you wish you’d kept Grandads wheelbarrow much easier on the
hands than bucket handles when they are full of money, only guessing mind I’ve
never had one bucket of money never mind two.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hi Harry,
Yes that old wheelbarrow would be an antique now.Did plenty of carrying buckets when I was a plasterers mate for three years.I carried over 120 bucketfuls up a ladder one day as well as mixing it by hand with a shovel.Stood me in good stead in later years when I had my accident.The consultant told my parents at the time that I had two things in my favour. That I was a young strong fit bloke and a non smoker.
Keep throwing the coins in Harry,I can still carry a bucket.
Cheers Dave.
Hey you two, you can carry two buckets easy if you get your selves a yoke, and thats no joke, the milk maids used them for years, if they tripped and spilt the buckets, 
thats where the saying came from, " It’s no use crying over spilt milk"! 
Norman Ingram:
Hey you two,
Try carrying two at a time two gallon bucketfuls of plaster on a yoke up a ladder Norm.I carried them one in each hand without holing onto the ladder,it was only up about twelve foot to the floor.If you held them right your body weight was against the ladder.I kept those plasterers busy on bonus. The money was good for me as well.
Cheers Dave.
