Denis F:
Woodlands heading south on the M5 on weds or thursday
Saw Denis Wed afternoon M5 Nbound
I think Semtex ( couldn’t quite read the plate behind the wiper) Tues AM about 05:30 M5 Nbound, my tramping started with 7pm Monday can you take this Volvo 18t to Lichfield and collect the XDP parcels in 8hrs59mins59secs BTW it doesn’t have a bunk so was heading back Sbound, I thought tramping would be more ‘different’
Tuesday ,though, it was back to normal programme and off to Plymouth to load shop fitting furniture and then Winchester…
Saw Shrek at Tamworth Svces Thurs 15:00,and Yorkie also
Saw Animal Sbound M5 Friday about 08:30
Somebody went past layby last night, sounding horn, at A14/M6/M1 Jct wbound at about 21:00 with UKP trailer, couldn’t see unit as I was cooking latest ‘Swithlogic type’ dinner recipe
Saw Peanut on A14 this morning at 06:15 also west bound and passed me and my 24tonne of choccy sweets for Saltash (closed 'til Mon)
Saw loads of caravans on M5…A38 etc today
DagV8 - twice, once on the M4 and once on the M6 as he was trying to go hide in Knutsford MSA
Carl - on the A34, yup I was only 4 miles behind Mr Spanky…
Mr Spanky - both in Sutton Scotney services as he gave me my trailer plate back after I had left it on an RCL trailer and again on T/A-3 as we both waited for containers.
Lug - on the A34, he was only 10 - 15 mins ahead of Carl.
I know I work for Mr Spanky, but to see either of them on the road is a rarity for me so it had to get a mention on here
Kate: that was me fighting with traffic on the M6 friday.
