Cheers Eric,
When I started with BRS they gave me an old Leyland Comet artic. It was winter & the heater didn’t work. I went to the workshop & the foreman fixed the heater problem for me; He gave me a bus drivers overcoat 2 sizes too big- the sleeves were so long you could wrap them over the steering wheel to use as gloves! He said ‘When that wears out come & see me.’ And he was serious!

On some of the big firms, they drivers aren’t allowed to fit a bulb Harry, which is ridiculous.

We’re not, doesn’t matter what it is, from torqueing your wheel nuts to changing a side-light bulb, not allowed to lay a finger on them now, any problems at all take it to the workshop if safe to do so or call the 24 hour number , & as wagons nowadays seem to be built to the same technical standards as Space-craft less & less seems to be able to be fixed on the side of the road, so more & more call-outs seem to result in a tow-in

Yes but at least he is waving thanks out the window to Mr Crow for forcing the Merc’ over! Isn’t the motor behind 1 of the French make UNIC? & isn’t that another TK 4th in line coming down the slip-road? Regards Chris

Hey ADR, First the TK than Saviem SG, Hanomag and again a Bedford.
It were the days that you saw every thirth lorry was a Bedford 3/5/7 tons max.
And the AEC’s were nearly all gone.

Indeed. Does anyone else remember a German firm that had green and red scanias and the company name was Kuntz ? Even funnier they had on the back of their tilts the fat man and also the slogan “fahrt mit Kuntz” quite unfortunate… Haha
