“H” is definitely keeping an extremely “low profile” at the moment unless,of course,he’s very busy opening all the brown envelopes that are/will be flooding through his letter box !! North Western Fan Club member No 12.
hiya,
All this adulation and talk of blue plaques is leaving me speechless,
will I ever be the same Harry I always was, Oh’ and Dennis I don’t
know if you are aware but anyone who was genuinely born along
St Georges Quay is allowed to call him/herself “A Slinger” and this
honour is of extended to me of course, seemingly this title is nearly
equal to a knighthood, should I really be wearing jeans and teeshirt.
thanks harry, long retired.
We’ll get you an ESL drivers suit “H” and have it trimmed with Ermine,theres one or two of “fast eddies” park up at Carnforth Truck Stop so it shoudn’t be too difficult,could I make a note of your measurements ? What waist and chest are you ? Bloody hell,you’ll need to be weighed not measured “H” !! Cheers Dennis.

hiya,
Dennis I’ll pass on the elf’s green suit, I’ve still got a blue two piece
emblazoned with BRS North Eastern I’d feel more at home wearing
that, and skip the ermine it plays havoc with my allergies.
PS as for my size just put me down as a fat old git.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry now your a celebrity you had better get that cardboard suitcase that you used at B.R.S. out of the cupboard from under the stairs.
The news from the jungle is that Helen Flannagan is about to spit the dummy and want’s to go home, so tell your agent Norman to chase it up and sit by the phone. With your National Service experience in Malaya our money is on you Harry lad.
P.S. Remember to take your salt tablets and dont forget to pack a bikini.

I would say a Slinger is much higher than a Knighthood or a Peerage. Slinger Harry Gill has a ring to it.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Will pleading insanity get me back in C Ss good books after all there
won’t be many of the top tabler’s who can claim the title of Slinger, I
did get my collar felt on a couple of occasions but only for playing the
nick from school and hiding behind the engineering works that backed
onto the Quay Meadow, Ah’ well I’ve had my 15 minutes of fame, it’s
back to being a commoner.PS. nowt in the kitty only IOUs as yet.
thanks harry, long retired.
Does anybody know when the Harry Gill winter catalogue will be coming out as I am after a pair of those mittens that are joined together with a rope. I shall have no excuse now for saying that I have lost a glove. (So long as I am wearing one of them).

Hope that it arrives soon or it will be too late to get the wife’s chrissy present to me ordered. Looking for something nice like a Scania 80 watercolour in Stobart livery signed by our hero as I never got the chance to drive a foreign wagon and it will remind me of what I missed, a course on sheeting and roping as I didn’t do any of that would be good as well, failing that a few folding pictures of Our Majesty in either the blue or red colour’s will be acceptable and I can then get something useful and stuff the Scania picture. I live in Hope (well Matlock actually ) that it arrives shortly.
After reading the comments on this thread my conclusion is, you dont have to mad to post here, but most of us are, and it is definitly an asset!!! I’ve been onto Newcastle Labour Club and they hope to have the doors widened in time for the “Xmas Bash,” so it won’t matter if your turnip is still a bit swollen “H” you will still be able to get in. Unfortunately this will mean that the Stannah they were planning to fit to those three steps will now have to wait. Regards Kev.

MAD?? MAD?? how dare you? Old fellas on here might be SLIGHTLY affected by drink most of the time (well I am) but MAD is a bit extreme.
none of us were the full shilling to start with kev , embarking on a career lorry driving regardless of the dire warnings given by our (lorry driver ) dads . they do reckon that once you get past 50 the brain cells start to wave bye bye . i wouldn’t have swopped it though , it was a better life than being stuck in a factory or office all week . cheers , dave
Aye, The Lfe Of The Long Distance Lorry Driver, & what a life too, Better than sitting at a machine in a factory or as you say in an office, I would do It all over again if that was possible, Free as a bird, Right we got hassle in those days I know, But its all changed now at least we could back answer the gaffer, But in big Companys nowadays do the drivers ever get to see him I wonder■■?, There is no camararderie at all except what we get on here which Im sure apart from the odd one or two the rest of us enjoy it, Regards Larry.

hiya,
Kev pleased to read about the door widening that I assure you is well
received but don’t worry about the Stannah only three steps as you say
after a few drinks I’ll be able to fall up/down them without any help.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hi Larry,
I work for one of the larger multinationals, the directors do have to do a back to basics days where they may have to go and see what is involved in the day to day jobs. Last week I had to take the financial director from head office out in the lorry, of course I kept him busy with some "manual handling "and made him pay for the breakfasts so he could get an idea of my costs
