Hi Gang,

As some of you already know my cancer has now been declaired terminal and I have been given 18 months to go so this will be my last W & P with Bertha my Morris 15cwt. I have got a friend to drive her to The Hop Farm on Saturday 14th and I shall be looking to park up in my usual spot by the toilets in America's Field. I shall try to get there about noon and would be most grateful if there are any other Forum members in the field who could spare me a little time to help set up my pitch.

Many thanks,

John Wheatley.:tup::

Bertha and I will be trundling there tomorrow lunchtime.

Regards,

John

Thank you, they seem too good to end up covered in grease and oil, I will take them to W & P and see if I can sell them to offset the fuel bill.

John

Hi Gang,

I have a pair of brand new overalls which have far more pockets and zipped pouches than a normal pair. They are marked "coverall AFV crewman". Any idea what they would have been used for?

John

Don't know if this is any help to you but when the bearings went in my Morris I had them done by Gosneys in south London, it might be worth having a chat with John Cox of Cox and Turner in Hampshire.

Hi Gang,

Hi Gang,

Do you think it would do anything for my 1944 Morris 15cwt?

Just a bit of info. have had to replace the water temp. gauge in Bertha and have found the most helpful man in the Kent area and have no hesitation in letting you know his name. Alan Davis, he can be contacted at alandavis@thegaugeshop.com 01732 838528

Dear old Bertha blissfully plods along at between 10/12 mpg and I blissfully plod along totally ignorant of what she costs me per annum. Were I to stop and cost it out then I would probably burst into tears. :shake::cry:

John.

Hello Mate,

Not sure if that's the recommended one, all I know is that it is near Gosneys who are in Romford. I had all my info for mech. and body spares on a floppy disk which self destructed and all I could retrieve of that entry was what I posted. I looked on Google and it's near Gosneys as I said. That's the best I can offer.

Regards,

John.

Ludmila Pavlichenko was invited to America where she was given an award for the number of soldiers she had shot. Woody Guthrie took an old folk song and rewrote it in her honour.

I knew i'd heard the story somewhere before

Hi Gang,

I seem to recall it being a cheesy American record about the war in 'Naam.

You know when you are getting old... when you see stuff in a museum with which Jack actually worked...

That's a bit below the belt, true or not.

the silence from the passengers lets you concentrate on the foreign lorries that cut in a bit sharp and nearly take the outside wing off.

Suggest you contact Richard Farrant, he works with old vehicles for a living and I have found he will help anybody with totally impartial advice.

Hi Gang,

Did anyone on this trip actually get asked to show their export licence?

John. :stop:
