I don’t know how we got away with it in the 1980’s, it was considered anti-social to not go out with the other drivers for a few sherbets, especially on a Thursday night.
There were more town centre lorry parks then as well as more pubs to visit.
Dunno how we survived really.
Too many do-gooders now that’s why. I was the same and still am to some extent. Burn me at the stake. I like a drink after work and wouldn’t think twice about driving the following morning. I don’t doubt that there will have been times when I was still over the limit. So ■■■■■■■ what.
Looks like the mrs driver had been on the lash all day, I will have a beer of an evening but I couldn’t imagine drinking while I was work, I would have thought the first place you delivered to would either refuse to tip you or phone the police and report you.
And on the special brew/skol super too @9.2% vol .no wonder he still blew x2 the limit some 2hrs later at the nick
That driver of the lgv2 box was very lucky( crash on the m6), the thing was in bits ffs and he walked away unhurt, then Angus Nairn had to show his mug,& latest white scannia , unless that footage was from an earlier time

Kenny, just because your now a"TRUNKARD" doesn’t make you a bad person.
Looking forward to some “neckoil” and a bit of patter about all those night out venues
when we meet on the 28th Dec. Ps I don’t think many “goody two shoes” wil turn up
so we can enjoy ourselves without looking over our shoulders. regards Kev

Ponty’s still going strong, although it’s being slowly superceded by Wetherby…Northallerton’s just for wimps.
Ah Ponty, stopped there regular in the 90’s was a great night out, only go there to tip now, the pub nearest the lorry park at the top of the hill (can’t remember it’s name) is now an office
Could have put quite a few more on there Kev but didnt want people to think I was a .......... artist, Its time something was done about parking etc, you cant realy socialise in layby`s,will have to see Goodrum for Dec28 prob bring the women I drink she drives

Ps. Mel says Hi.
Lucy, Wetherby was always a favorite long before Ponty. I remember the late “Cracker” Bates
often used it when the rest of us were still frequenting the Redhouse at Donny. I havn’t been for
few months now but the regular “smoggies” and “geordies” still get there. regards kevmac47.
