Looks more like desperation parking, I know where he is, and I wouldn’t be happy parked there. He’s very close to not being off the road.

Its surprising how many wagons use that place John. I suppose there isn’t much on that side of the road between Kington and Leominster.
Cheers Dave.

We’ve all been a long way from home most days, still no excuse for dangerous parking like that, his o/s rear end is hardly off the road, think he would have a problem if someone hit him.


Had several of Rory J Holbrook wagons working out of these quarries in March 2011. I think they were leaving the wagons here at weekends and travelling home in a minibus.

BOCM Pauls have been taken over by the Dutch ForFarmers group, the fleet is being repainted. You’ll still see the older vehicles in the BOCM livery for a few years though. This one runs out of Carmarthen.

I met a couple of BOCM PAULS today. That will be strange not seeing the BOCM name around anymore. I used to go with my Dad to Avonmouth in the late 50’s and early 60’s to BOCM for animal feedstuff.
Cheers Dave.
