Glass bottles for us too. Think we were a bit posher down South. I only went to school every third day because that's when I got the turn with the only pair of shoes me and my other two brothers posessed. We were so poor that when I reached puberty I had to cut the fingers off my mother's Marigold gloves or use a Marathon wrapper............
  If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!! |

I was taught to drive in a lwb Gypsy we had them at work as service vehicles when I was an apprentice.
The early swb ones had what was called Flexitor suspension never rode in on so I can't comment on the ride. Quite a few years ago there was one for sale near me it was listed as a series one and had a series grill but it was definitely a Gypsy. Our vehicle's saw heavy use as we used to pull tracks on and off crawler cranes (NCK) with them. Uncas |
