We use to run tractors from Massy’s at banner lane into Livingstone Allpack in the 70’s, they use to let you come and go through the emergency road back then, plus it was a good place to park up on a dodgy and flip home, either there, or the Texaco garage on the A45 as is now, that also use to be called the Blue Boar by the locals, Mortons and and Car Delivery firm would park there.
Blue Boar was the service station operator wasn’t it??
Like Trusthouse Forte and others that aren’t coming to mind right now.

I once got a job on watford gap. I was working for logotrans out of dover and I was hitching home for the weekend,I got as far as the GAP,
I saw a truck with manchester written on the side(PUMA} and I went to ask the driver for a lift,It turned out the driver was the boss Brian( icant recall his surname, its mi age) I not only got a lift home he gave me a job as he was coming off the road himself ,
