dont read this if you are of a nervous dispositiom

and here is why
its a Korean warry story
now i drove a Ten tonner out there
and my main job was taking 12x12 timber
to make Bunkers
Now this Leyland Hippo
had a fault with it
if you just let the enginge tick over you had no breaks
i never had any trouble,
until one day
i had to pick up a load of sand bags Yankee Nylon sand bags
now it wont be too difficult to imagine the predicament i got into
i had 6 Korean service men with a sergy( he caleed himself me sergy
we could communicate pidgeon english
he rode in the Cab(goo job too)

now the road part of it was very steep,like any oneones of the local hills round barnsley but longer steeper, no kerbs if your off the road your in trouble paddy fields ,mine fields

i had done this run many times
always got bottom gear
BUT,on this occasion with five korean sat on the Sandbags
i Missed the gear half way up the hill i coud not let the revs die down to put in gear
i said to the Sergy Under wheels, Bags under wheels
suddenly he got it
shouted to the lads
they put the bags under the wheels i rested on them
got into bottom gear and left a pile of sand bags
the koreans made short work of them
with them being Nylon
there were several new houses made of them
in the End i won a cup driving that truck

 

Another good story

they should be collected into a book ff
