well! was that you waving ,i thought "got to be a old sea salt or trucker" because only us ex travellers some time had wished we had jumped in the sea. if you had ever had to stay in some of the scottish digs esp if MUNROS drivers were there in their bib and bracces and selp in their boots, on,TRUE.late 60tysthe old A.B.C LIENCES finished.was BRSwho had the monopoly then.now just a few.1 from carlise,excel is a throwback from BRS in the70s.. Not many older drivers left who would remember the 50tys however they would appreciate the present conditions for sure,what do you think.
