Hi boys
Dave that Coles truck must have a regular tip up our way he’s there most weeks. I go past there each morning to work and see it there. The quality of the photos Tracy takes you should be treating her to one of Phils extra large breakfasts not just a mug of tea :smiley: :smiley:

Regards Keith

I don’t think we could eat one of Phil’s Desperate Dan breakfasts between us Keith.I know a lot do eat them,but even when I was young I don’t think I would tackle one of those. :laughing: That Coles moter is smart.
Cheers Dave.

Hi boys
Dave Desperate Dan couldn’t think what he called it.Never been brave enough to order one of those even when young.I usually struggle with his normal size breakfast.Must admit don’t go in there very often, to close to home.

Regards Keith

I think Tony Lloyd’s daughter runs a couple. They still hold a license for about 80 vehicles plus more trailers.
