Evening all. Another gem that dropped out the sky tonight for me on YouTube which I know many on here will also appreciate the snapshot of the era.

Interesting video, I'll watch it later.
Dowty went defunct in the 90's after being bought out, made all sorts of interesting kit for planes and mining equipment which what was on that lorry I think.

For some reason the sight of those sausages being deep fried was 
People seemed a lot more diffident in those days or maybe it's just because they're being filmed.
Here is an interview with Sue Jay-

Good stuff, the real 70's lorry drivers, rather than Yorkie man! As the presenter lady said, how did some of the drivers stay slim with sitting in a cab all day and having fried breakfasts nearly every morning and a few bevvies mid week when stopping overnight on long distance runs??
Interesting that the drivers "digs" were like a dormitory/barracks style room, and also the comraderie they seemed to have, regardless of where in the country they came from, talking "shop"! (On the face of it anyway).
The truck types are long forgotten though, unless you see preserved examples at vintage vehicle shows, those Scania's like the featured driver's, I remember were fairly common in the UK, must have been one of the best selling imported trucks at the time.

Remember Jaywalking very well. It ran (in the Midlands at least) for quite a few years - Central continued with with for a few years into the 80s.
Sue Jay is still about and working; I did some stuff for ITV50 where she was interviewed. Such a welcoming person.
It sounded like one hell of a party working at ATV in Birmingham in the 70s....
She had tons of tales and anecdotes about working on the Nightly News programme alongside Chris Tarrant. Some of the clips used in the ATVLand production (above) were part of the ITV50 stuff.
They really pulled out the stops for ITV50, I doubt very much they'll do that in 2025 for the 70th.
