When the days of the British Road Service (BRS) were in operation here in West Cumberland, they travelled in convoy -5 wagons-going thro the Lakes,south, we would meet up with them at Cockermouth and tag on behind them, this would be about 4-5 am and going thro Keswick town centre the ministry man would be sitting there in his car , no lights showing but we all knew it was him so on those days we would travel legally down to L`pool Docks because you knew that if he was there then the ministry would be checking you on the way back, and you had to be careful on what loads you picked up on the return journey as the old A. B -RESTRICTED B. and the C licence was displayed on your screen, you were only allowed certain type loads depending on the class of licence.
