...has not stopped Chris Zarse and his good lady from travelling up to Shropshire for a weeks' motor caravanning holiday....
Nice part of the world to go to, even in a Commer. I go at least once a year to have a meet-up with mates from 'oop north' - nice little campsite right behind the Engine & Tender pub in Broome. This just a few clicks south of the Long Minge Mynd - great walking country and great scenery. Del I know it well, I grew up about 10 miles the other side of Craven Arms, which is practically just round the corner in such a remote area. I can also recommend The Bridges pub at erm, Bridges, it's just a short walk down the Minge from the Styper Stones. PS Wadda ya mean "even in a Commer???"   |

Yes it was the lovely shade of green that graces MB.  They missed the Wrekin? its a bloody great hill on the left of the M54 about 8 miles outside of Shrewsbury (It used to have a big light on top to stop aeroplanes flying into it, got into alot of trouble as a kid for drawing a nice picture of it, in marker pen , on my bed headboard) I think the navigator must have already had there beer goggles on. That was them alright, British Racing Green was never an original colour. I did not know you were from God's own county Ian, so what's with all the Reading FC nonsense? Your heart belongs to Gay Meadow and you know it! PS were you a Wakeman lad? No, Dad was a Surrey lad (just off the Byfleet banking of Brooklands) and met Mum whilst doing national service at Shawbury, they moved back to retire. I have been to the Gay Meadow to watch my cousins husband play for Shrewsbury in the late 70's though. |

Crikey, I used to go in that era, especially the wonderful season when they were promoted to the (then) Division 2 and played the likes of Birmingham etc. Who's your cousins husband? Kenny Mulhearn? Graham Turner? Chick Bates?

Steve Cross, went onto play for Derby then Bristol Rovers where he finished up as their Player Coach. He now works with young people with disabilities and learning difficulties in the town. |

OK Ian, here's a pic of a lovely Commer on the Brooklands banking.  Sadly it was rammed up the rear end two weeks ago by a Dutch registered double unit jugernaut, the driver went to sleep on the M4. I feel an apology is due from the Dutch contingent for the unlawful killing of a Commer. Paddy, you're in the Dutch transport industry, have you anything to say on the matter?  PS Ian I saw Steve Cross play too, he was a cut above the usual donkeys in the league at the time. |

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I'm not sure yet, it probably depends on the weather.  |
