G'day from New Zealand

[Mike Lowe]

Hi from Auckland. I am an ex-Leyland apprentice from the 50's, and still interested in buses and trucks especially from that era. Any other ex-Leyland folk out there?

Welcome mike.

I must have drove close to a million miles in leylands ,And they allways did the business.
Though the leyland 400 in the bristol LH was a bit on the loud side.

Best wishes LES.

you came in at the right time for this joke

(5) A Lion in London Zoo was lazing in the sun and licking his **** when a visitor turned to the keeper and said,”thats a docile old thing isn`t it?”
“ No way,” said the keeper,”it is the most ferocious beast in the zoo.Why only an hour ago it dragged a Scotsman into the cage and completely deoured him.”
“Hardly seems possible,” said the astonished visitor,
‘But why is he lying there licking his ****?”
“The poor thing is trying to get the taste out of his mouth,”said the keeper .

Have a good day.

Hi John,
I live in Howick, and work part-time in Otahuhu.
Now I have a free Gold Card, I recently took a bus from Botany in to Auckland city - my first bus ride for about 50 years!
But that's a commentary on the so called bus service rather than any dislike of buses.
Just bought a motor bike, after a 50-year gap, so now I'll be travelling on 2 wheels at least when the weather impoves..
Cheers,
Mike
