I Remember When

Lister auto trucks ,great machines saved a lot of carrying when we went to Brentford Fruit/Veg market with the "boss" in the old WW2 Austin canvas covered lorry,  his son and i used to collectall the wooden tomato boxes and sell them back to market traders for 6pence (old money) each, ,we were "rich" as it was 200 or more as they wanted them for the strawberry ,punnets

Yes ,the Lister three wheeled 'tug' for trailers etc. Drove them in a timber yard feeding the machines.I fell off one turning too tight ,it just went round in circles until i managed to knock the throttle lever over ,& jump back on !! .
