Maybe Brexit will improve the present situation, I hope so. I'm nearing the end of my lifetime now, but I feel great sadness at the future my grandchildren face. Very few of them are old enough to remember the war and the hard times that followed and those that remember just shrug it off. I was a war baby but still remember the many empty chairs in the homes around us, lads that never made it home, and for what ? The greedy self serving so called politicians that we are saddled with who,s only interest is a fat pension and an easy life.

Perhaps I should explain ? The changing of a 2 steer road spring on a LOADED 8 wheeler is no mean feat !! It was on nights and this truck came in for inspection finding this shattered spring it was a danger and I said it could not be moved ! ( So we will change it !) sending up the tipper with this full load 18ton of coal ! To a hight that we could actually build a bridge under the body near the cab, with railway sleepers !!!!! and then lose back down the loaded body onto the bridge? As we did this the load came onto the bridge at an angle and the chassis came back up ? At first it still came in contact with the chassis!! So I built the bridge higher until I was able to change this shattered spring The new spring was even more difficult to re fit but we made it and the 4 in hand rolled out next morning JD & Me where well pleased.
