April Fool

BUD 506V a Volvo F7 hired by Christian Salvesen Droitwich.

Delivering to Sainsburys store in Mill Lane,Bedminster

Bristol on the 1st April 1983

Taken with a Halina 1100.

Some time later,in a different tractor,i ran out of time and had to spend the night here.

Back then there was a KFC on the corner of Mill Lane and the main road.

I went in to buy my supper,i was the only customer.

I gave my order to the lad behind the counter who carefully wrote it down on a order pad.

He tore the slip out and turned and carefully clipped it to a peg on a revolving disc hanging from the ceiling.

He then walked around the partition separating the counter area from the food preparation area.

He reached up,turned the disc till he could detach my order slip.

He carefully read it then made up my order which he then bought back round to the counter.

I took it from him and paid,then left.

He said nothing and kept a straight face all through this.

To this day i have no idea whether he always did this or not.

I have often wondered what he may have gone on to be a manager of.
