Harry, another excuse Darling I have been in the stores using the testers to see what perfume is good enough for you my darling! for your birthday & christmas, I think I have found one, angel’s dew.
Norm, you should be a counsellor for lorry drivers who have to do damage limitation.
Cheers Dave.
DARLING■■? steady on now, that’s a bit strong isn’t it?..
hiya,
If I referred to my missus as “darling” she would immediately batter me
round the lughole and accuse me of thinking of some other woman.
thanks harry, long retired.
They should really come under the dangerous goods act
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
Dave they’re dangerous to the point where they should have the fact tattooed
on their forehead, that way it would give us lesser mortals a fighting chance.
thanks harry, long retired.

Good idea Harry, it should be a mandatory requirement once they reach 16. Also be fitted with a tracker so that they don’t go wandering into to many shops.
Cheers Dave.

Ah’ well back to the “red and rust” and early retirement, you’re loss and
all because the driver preferred “milk tray”.
thanks harry, long retired.
Dennis you are fighting a losing battle where Harry is concerned, he likes a boneshakers, plenty of rope & sheeting, a cab to carry plenty of junk in, himself smothered in oil & the lorry. just so it won’t take a wash down! No modern clean trash for our Harry.

hiya,
That’s right Dave I’d never win a rosette for the smartest lorry and when I’ve
completed a days work I’m not hanging round the yard waiting for the wash
I’m away home and via the pub when I was single, but without blowing any
trumpets my motor would’ve made top money for the guvnor, and wouldn’t
have cost him anything should a minor repair have been needed thanks to
all the bits and bobs of tools and rubbish in the passenger footwell.
thanks harry, long retired.

I could never understand blokes hanging about the yard or garage at thend of the day Harry,same as you,as soon as I had fueled up and done whatever I had to I was away. I did have a girlfriend to see after I’d had my tea and washed and changed, although in the summertime I helped the local farmers to haul bales of hay and straw for cash. Then went to see an unhappy girlfriend.
Cheers Dave.

hiya,
The motors always got washed when they went for test or major surgery in
the early days and they got a bit of a rinse if it rained as well, that did for
me, in fact one firm the Guvnor used to come to his yard to wash his Jag on
a Sunday morning and he always washed my Borderer at the same time he
never once said anything about me not using the wash, I liked to think he
did enjoy his little bit drive round the yard in my motor him only having a
four wheeler licence, well you’ve got to keep the boss happy.
thanks harry, long retired.

We washed the lorries when I drove for C W Griffiths regularly and got paid for it. With Brisbane’s and Philpotts it was a lick and a promise. I did go into Hereford cattle market when I drove for C M Philpotts and use their kit to wash the lorry,and got paid for it, also given back the 2/6p charge for the wash.
Cheers Dave.
hiya,
The guy who used to wash my motor on a Sunday did pay us Saturday morning for
washing the vehicles but me being the only long distance laddie nearly always was
“running in” from places afar on that day usually arriving after everyone had gone
home and everything was locked up, should I just happen to be in the yard on the
“wash day” the Guvnor knowing I was handy with the spanners usually found me a
little job to do on one of the rigid’s which always took till going home time so he
usually got one if the other drivers to put the hose over my motor because “Harry’s
a bit busy seeing to your motor” so I got my motor washed and he saved money by
not having to take the motor needing attentions to the nearby Seddon outlet, and
the “boss” always added an extra fiver to my ex’s for saving him a few bob, and you
could get a canny drink in the late 60s for a fiver, very happy days.
thanks harry, long retired.
Harry with all that money you got on the side, you should be worth millions, dodgy nights out as well, I still reckon you must have a lumpy mattress, or a great big treasure chest under your bed!

hiya,
Norm there is an old word namely penury, it was a word chanted by the
beggars of yesteryear and means poverty stricken also being in a state of
destitution with no hope of receiving restitution, find penury in the Oxford
English dictionary it states PENURY--------- SEE HARRY GILL.

Penury means extreme poverty to the point of homelessness and begging in the streets Harry. I don’t think you were in such dire straights as that. I think we were all better off in the 1960’s than these days. Material wise these days people have more now, but half of it is not paid for.
As far as I’m concerned we were better off in the 1960’s. You married blokes with young families had it harder,but they were better times.
Cheers Dave.

A lot of big names and famous people have been known to sell the Big Issue Harry. The last one I saw was when we were waiting to get on the chain ferry from Sandbanks to Swanage in Dorset last year.
