Alf Whitehouse from Cheswardine Nr Market Drayton,
I’m OK thanks, Pete, considering my age and the life I’ve led. But I’m still struggling to educate my betters as to the difference between Barges and Narrowboats! 
Dave may have posted this one sometime before but found it looking through photos . If when im out i will take some more and add them on his site .
Thanks Tracy .

ROF and Pete Hi ,
ROF i have to say not familiar with such nautical terms , the vessel in which we were voyaging towards Audlem, as i remember floated and did not sink or capsize and that was that !
Pete , the Whitehouse depot also had a early Magirus Deutz unit albeit in a derilict state , cc PS ROF , We made Audlem , forgot the smilies and as you can tell i am slightly out of my comfort zone !!!, cheers guys , cc.
Evening all,
That early Magirus of Whitehouse`s was the same as operated by Entress…(20 tons of plate on the bottom…and drums on the top)!..amazing pulling power, and so odd to look at with their flat fronts to the cab…and sounded just like a Hoover on full suction when they were pulling well…
I tried hard to get Alf to swop, (plus a bit of cash), his Magirus for a new ■■■■■■■ 220 10 speed Atkinson…(because I could move the Magirus into Entress next day)…but it was not to be…Even harder with Alf Arrowsmith…only cracked that hard nut with Volvo…(and saw the lorry entered on that mural in his bungalow with all his lorries on the winding road)…and he told me to wear a chiffon scarf when I had a bad throat…Now who was his son in law who did grass track…and went to work for Bryn Lloyd at Market Drayton?
By gum this thread does exercise my memory cells!!!
Cheerio for now.
I have to admit that the Saviem memory cells are a ■■■■ sight better than the ROF ones!
