Remember when going scotch (if from the south), or going down to the smoke ( if from the north), was long distance, when middle east work was readily available?. When a 111 or F89 meant you were truly the king of the road Recall those companies long gone, where every day was an adventure? What ever happened to those drivers you spent hours with.. where did they go? and recollect on those characters in the industry sadly no longer with us. This forum is for us all to indulge in a little nostalgia and remember with rose coloured glasses how much better it was in the olden days not letting that harry gill down here yet pete , it's my birthday next week and a good friend dropped by today with a bottle of famous grouse . i know harry prefers the expensive single malts , but if it were free grouse i reckon he would force it down , just to keep the chill out . if he brought larry with him i wouldn't even get a sniff of the bottle top , cheers , dave Not true Rigsby, If I was to come down I would bring you a bottle, & Im sure Harry would too, But mind you that dont mean that we wouldnt drink yours as well, Happy birthday when it comes, Regards Larry.
