Mr Hewes it’s quite clear to most of your followers that while you may not be a Professional Tanker you certainly know what your doing and your very entertaining whilst doing it so when you get people telling you you are daft and know not what you do, be very English about it and tell them to bugger off and if they persist be very British about it and them to widdle off (Pee off) and to paraphrase yourself Keep up the good work.

I was stationed in Berlin in 76/77 with 2 Para as Ferret Section Commander. These Chieftains were in Smuts barracks. My mate was there when the wall came down and he says that they were all low mileage/hours and in very good nick. He reckons that when they finally left, some Germans were crying as they were taken away.

I bet your neighbours really love you lot! Fodens lifting power is bloody impressive in any language. I assume the other Chieftan is going to the states? You'd better not hope to have to send one to Australia, their regulations are a lot lot stronger than anyone else's regarding alien plant life into Oz. Just one seed or bit of mud found and it has to go into quarantine and there is a very hefty bill coz the vehicle has to be thoroughly cleaned again in and out. Incidentally, how much does a Chieftain cost like the one that's just arrived? Not that I'm thinking of buying one lol it wouldn't fit in my road!
