Next you will tell me Harry, 
that you only go into Ladbrokes to get warm, and save on heating bills, because it’s cheaper to have a bet, than use gas & electricity. 
Dave send them I need a good laugh, address to Norman good looking lad and my town, it will come to me! 
hiya,
And here’s me thinking the young lady in Ladbrokes was a friend.
it seems she can’t keep a secret, It’s Corals from now on.
thanks harry, long retired.
Go for it Harry, clean Corals out, stop these middle England folk winning everything.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
I only invest at the bookies It’s very rare I’m in a position to get any of my
investments back, I truly think my stakes are shipped to Northampton to
pay Norman his winnings, but one day my 20 pence lucky 15 will come up
and with 4 good priced winners have a nice pick-up had a 5/2 a 4/1 and
I had two good priced horses ran second no good to me I place bets to win
but at least I have £5.20 to come back out of my £3.00 stake that’s nearly
enough for a pint.
thanks harry, long retired.
Stick it on the Euromillions Harry its over 150 million on Tuesday. 
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
Dave, that’s an obscene amount of money for an OAP to win I’d have to give
it all away why not split it up a bit and make a lot of people happy, for that
reason I don’t even do the European lottery so at least the winner won’t be
getting any of my money when he/she hits the jackpot.
thanks harry, long retired.

I do the Euromillion now and again Harry.If I won that amount I would give a lot of it to charities, especially to spinal injuries and Marie Curie and Children’s charities where it would help people. I would also buy a big boat for retired lorry drivers to go on a cruise…but then I’d wake up because I ain’t going to win.
I won my lottery when I survived my accident, also surviving double pneumonia.
Cheers Dave.
Dave you would have laughed, if I tell you I volunteered for the army, and wrote down all the ailments I had. 
they put me before six doctors, and said their is nothing wrong with you, your heart is strong, are you sure you had rheumatic fever 
I said certainly, I couldn’t move, only my eye’s, and at school they stopped me doing PE, they sent me to Banstead to convalesce.How do you think you got a strong heart, oh that’s easy to explain, I never took notice of doctors to rest, while in the convalescence home, I would wander off into the woods and join in with the public private school, who done a hare & hounds paper chase about three times a week.

Rheumatic fever is a nasty thing Norm. I remember a chap who lived next door to us when I was a kid having it, he was in bed for weeks, he was a long distance lorry driver who drove Roberts of Knighton’s first lorry. His wife used to ask me to go around and talk to him and keep him company. He made a good recovery and went on driving, then emigrated to Australia, came back started his own business and lived until he was 85.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
There you go Dave, your Gramps should have been my mentor as well.
I might still have been a free man like you.
thanks harry, long retired.
Ah, but look at it this way, a fella needs staff to do the menial domestic duties/shopping etc. Occasionally give em a little minor victory OR a little treat (gin on tonic on *yanair), and they’re happy. This one of mine never stops chirping at home so I just switch off and let her ramble on. With some of the rubbish she comes out with there are times I think she needs psychiatric help.

hiya,
Tell you what Brian you should write a book believe me with gems
like you come out with linked with your sound advice it would be a
best seller and I would be upfront in the queue at Waterstones just
to get a signed copy, believe me man I’m just a learner alongside an
expert, or you could do a correspondence course similar to my post
graduate How to rope and sheet course, bloody curtainsiders killed
that one.

You should see her drive an 8 wheel Thornycroft tanker. Many many years ago (well over 40 years ago) we were a lot younger and she went with me one day up to Eaglescliffe Nr. Yarm. I’d tipped it and we were coming home empty, stopped for a pot of tea down the A19 and she says, “can I have a go”? (it was before ADR cards and HGV licences, she DID have a driving licence)
So, she mounts up and off we go. Bloody hell, she was better than me at the job. Whoa, whoa, lets be going a bit steadier.
The things you get up to when you’re young. 
Fair play that is love and devotion for you. Brian letting his Missus drive his eight legger, bring tears to my eyes.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Would have hidden the knotted rope before I let my missus
anywhere near the handlebars and the trailer boy wouldn’t
have taken kindly to be told he’d have to travel on the drag.
thanks harry, long retired.

You might have been safer on the drag Harry. The trailer boy would have had the ear bashing.

Don’t worry about Harry, he goe’s mutton deaf when he wants too. Also harry I can’t remember when I was two sheets to the wind, when my first born was born, I went to the club and wet his head. Wife said are you alright, I said yes, but when I was walking home, the bloody hedges kept bumping into me! 
hiya,
Oh’ Norm we go the whole hog up this neck of the woods and go THREE sheets to the wind
but we’ve got plenty of lighthouses around our coast to make sure we sail safely home.
thanks harry, long retired.
I expect after all these years Harry, you could find your way home blindfolded and blind drunk.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Yes Dave blind drunk and even on my hands and knees, and it would be even
easier if I ever learn how to use the bloody sat-nav I bought years ago, most
useless thing I’ve ever bought, well it’s a toss up really there’s several cameras
and other electrical gadgetry that I’ve wasted money on, thrown into a trunk
under the stairs where no doubt they will become obsolete and so will become
worthless, I really belong back in the early 20th century.

I’ve never even thought of buying a sat-nav Harry. I have wasted a lot of money on other gadgets over the years. I have a radio scanner which cost a lot of money, which I have rarely used,also a telescope with a tripod etc which is very good, but half the time I can’t be arsed to set it up. Numerous other things over the years which are sat in a cupboard and forgotten about. I have purchased about ten new vehicles since 1972 ranging from £1,200 to £30,000 which have all depreciated and been sold for a small amount, except for the two vans which I still have.
None of these things are worth bugger all now, if I do purchase another vehicle in the future it certainly won’t be a new one.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
It’s surprising how you can waste money on must haves I remember our
daughter booking me a weekend trip away which included the Grand
National so a pair of binoculars was a “must have” on such an occasion
at great expense I bought a pair, got myself ready on the day of the
race put the “glasses” round my neck decided I looked a proper Charlie
and you’ve guessed they’ve lived in the box under the stairs ever since.

Tell me about it, £33500 my Jaguar cost (it was my retirement present to me because I deserved it ) Now, 9 years later, I’d be lucky to get £4000 for it.
It’s only done 54000 miles, no more cars for me, the Jaguar stays.
