Welcome - The Editors Comment
Hi folks,
As a small boy when my dad, Joe Craggs was a Field Marshall tractor driver, we lived in a remote house about a mile from the village of Belchford – up in the Lincolnshire Wolds. Although it didn’t seem odd at the time, something dad used to do has made me chuckle a bit over the years.
When his ‘wellies' were worn out or were no longer waterproof, dad would chop the tops off and use them as slippers. Imagine my surprise when I went to a garden centre the other week and there on a posh display were wellies with their tops chopped off which could either be used as gardening shoes or for indoor use! There’s nothing new under the sun is there?

Frying tonight 1932 Bedford style
Convincing the present Mrs Barnes that a nice day out in the Berkshire countryside would be a splendid way to spend a sunny Sunday was the easy part. Another matter entirely was persuading her that riding around in a 70-year-old fish and chip van would be her birthday present – never let it be said that I don’t know how to treat a lady.

News: Welland back on track
Unfortunately, it was a fleeting visit, but it was great to be at the Welland Steam & Country Fair held over 25-27July. It was hot weather and as usual it had the best selection of commercial vehicles that you see in the West Midlands area.
