Hi nathan , thats great then , pity the visor and flag was not still up , thought it looked good on a foden .
Also yes "the hoff was there for two days , he said the parking space provided for his truck was bad , it was a long walk to the front door .The hoff started for me in May but I have know him for 20 years , he was on for Brs Oxford on the Habitat contract then was on Lesters Removals untill May when he was made reduntant with two days notice , just happened one of my long term drivers of 49 years was retiring ( good ridance ) and we took Phil on , for us it was the best thing we have done , he is good with customers and the lads and is prepared to do nights away and he keeps his motor clean and tidy . Got to save up now for a new truck for him .
âGood riddance!!!â, & he spoke so highly of you Steve! Save up? Yeah right, stop being tight & take the money out of 1 of your off-shore accounts, bet he would like a Top-Line Scania with all the toys!!!
ha ha Chris , now you know the whole of the story , if only My dad was paid half the money he is owed from this ex driver , also top line Scania ," dream " if any thing it would be a daf cf 18 tonner with all the whistles etc .
If we get a Scania I will be back on the road .
Any way Im happy with my Sprinter .
You wouldnât get anywhere near anything new & you know it mate, cos you would have Melvinâs bootprints all up your back & back of head as he stampeded you to get at it!
local runs only , shame because i still enjoy being out , but If I did a night away the place would stop untill I get back , plus the hoff and mel would not be happy with me going out and them staying local .

Stopped at the Rollright Stones this morning for a cup of coffee and a spot of devil worship
I was loaded with clay ex Broadway for Sheehansâ tip capping at Slape Hill near Woodstock. Smiths once quarried limestone at Slape after taking over Hazells in the late â80s, closing it a few years later before Glympton Estate bought it and Sheehans took it on as a waste site.
I was also reunited with my old digger when I worked for Sheehansâ at Slape Hill, although in a slightly âweatheredâ conditionâŚ

Just found a delivery address by doing some detective work via google; Latimer Contracting, Old Inn, London Road Thame; Checked my OS Oxon map earlier, no London Rd Thame. Having just Googled Iâve found itâs that place you went to on Friday in Postcombe Only 2 or 3 miles out of Thame thenâŚI couldâve gone through at least 2 weight limits in Thame trying to find that one.
Iâve been exiled to work out of Ardley tomorrow, makes a nice change
