Great video, great to see a lot of these old floats, when I was on night trunk in 85 I used to chat to a couple of cattle float drivers at night on the CB, one was called Animal. Can’t for the love of me remember the other lads handle, both drive Volvo F12’s red unit and the trailers were red with a white Starsky and Hutch flash along the trailers, great lads, used to have a coffee out of the machine at T-Bay with them, Ray was the man in the kiosk. Great video again. Kind regards, Johnny

@@143topline thank you so much for the information my friend, although I’m nearly 70 I can still see the two lorries very clearly in my mind, both drivers were nice lads. Thank you, Johnny
