Never gave it a thought Harry,you are quite right,a lot of these young blokes do a lot of tramping.He probably found a box with the A button jammed.
Cheers Dave.

I think a lot more will be finishing Nathan,with fuel going through the roof,also the haulage rates are low.Someone will wake up and realise that without lorries,nothing gets moved.

A smart looking Scania with a couple of balers aboard,seen on the side of the A49 north of Church Stretton.

Hi Dave
This Scania is owned by Colin W Parker from Sedbergh, ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  He transports farm machinery throughout the country. He also has a couple of Scanias with drawbar trailers. A very tidy fleet of trucks, and a credit to Colin.
Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Does any one know who the firm Harco is that carry steel up and down the A49 ? Tony
