Tachos came in around 1980.
I was driving a 7.5 tonner in the late 1970s and also used log books on the council.

Which is why the T and G fought tooth and nail to stop them.
Transport Cafes were endangered from that point on because drivers no longer had the freedom to stop as and when they felt like it.
