jcb ◊ 2020-08-08 21:55	Yes but Dennis also Perkins powered!
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2020-08-08 22:18	And the SDs!

(Not true, I think there’s a black Volvo somewhere.) Staffs County Council had some ex Army Diamond Ts for the gritting, with registrations from about 1947, all gone now. -- Last edit: 2020-08-08 22:47:48
