Embora o Rei seja a peça mais importante no Xadrez, é a Rainha que detém o maior poder!
Talvez seja por isso que discutir com uma mulher sempre acaba em “Checkmate”...

Vehicle standards improved with the arrival of a new Freight Rover Sherpa with Made to Measure body in 1987 (yes, a Sherpa was an improvement in those days !), and this Iveco Daily in 1988. It carried an incorrect plate showing FND instead of FNB for the first few weeks, until I spotted the error on this visit and told him to put it right !
On occasions, it was possible to take advantage of a "refreshment break" en route, when the driver called in to Junction Garage just outside Mossley to fuel up ! I am not sure if that happened when there was enough cash in the tray to pay for some, or if the driver had to keep the receipt, and hand the bill to Sam at the end of the shift.
This vehicle, and similar E184 CNE, would maintain the firm's services until 1996, when they were transferred to Glossopdale Bus Company. Checkmate carried on just as a private hire operator until 1998, when the firm (by then in the name of Sam's partner, Bernadette Poole) re-entered the local service market by winning the contract for the 418 local service in Oldham. Sam Tandy died on Christmas Day in 2005, and shortly after that, the business was sold to Joe Cox, who ran the garage where the buses were parked and maintained. Initially, he took on the two Mercedes Varios that were run at the time, but gradually the fleet became low-floor, with three 52-plate Solos running until the end. The operating area also spread out, with odd journeys being taken on where they could interwork with existing contracts, so buses could be seen running early morning and late evening journeys in Tameside, peak-hour trips from Mossley to Manchester, and off-peak occasional journeys in the Marple and Hyde areas. The latter were operated until the end, and were re-awarded to High Peak Buses. The loss of the 418 on re-tender was made up for with the gain of the Shaw local service, which also ran to the end, and will be worked by Manchester Community Transport from tomorrow. Sadly, the anonymous state of the fleet meant that it was never a priority for me to capture on film, and even the knowledge that the firm's days were numbered couldn't drag me out to see them, but it is still sad that another firm has come to an end.
This game of chess is for "grown folks" ONLY! Are you ready?

Haley is simply awesome to shoot with - she is an amazing young lady. My wife and I think the world of her - she is such a sweet, gorgeous, quiet, adventurous, and fun person. We had time to shoot at the December 2022 Studio Boise open meet - what a great experience.I hope we continue shooting with Haley in 2023 - she is worth it!
I usually never showing works before starts a contest stage. But will be made exception this time. Improbably beautiful contest "Portfolio" hosted by Pona can’t have continuation. It is very bad news, but I hope that all will be OK.
The task: to do work in steams, to represent chessmen which battle among themselves. Cezarita became my partner in this task, and I am very glad for this)
So, "Checkmate". O-Umi in a role of the Black Queen, Steffi in a role of a White Pawn.
Everything is relative....
