Hi Deckboypeggy.
You know me from shipsnostalgia mate. I lived near coventry for many years. I knew Mortons well enough but never worked for them. As for Norbert's, My mate drove for them and I used to go along as second man (unofficial) with jhim just for the hell of it. Went over to Belgium with him and went to various destinations around the UK. Used to leave the trailor in Coventry and take the unit home with us.
You used to visit Manila eh! Bad place that. Hate it up there. Much more peaceful and laid back down here on Mindanao mate. Been here 8 years and no scratching as yet...LOL
