Trader Joe was sitting on the wrong end of the platform but there was method to his madness. This way he could keep a watchful eye on the Blue Jays trying to get in on the action.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments, faves, visits and such. If I don't get to answer you all please know that I am busy either looking at your photos or with life in general.

One from my archive, interesting as it is of camel traders at the old Camel market in Al Ain, no longer there, replaced by a more modern and less traditional affair.

Well done to my Flickr friend 'tentontipper' and his father for their superb restoration of this 1964 Thames Trader tipper- converted to 6x4 by AWD of Camberley.

All Wheel Drive Ltd used only the Trader cab, engine, gearbox and front axle in this conversion- the chassis rails, transfer box and rear axles were all of their own design.

- Well, Admiral Motti... I must say I'm pleased, considering you opened your account today and managed to collect all white Imperial cards within one hour.

- Thank you, my Lord! I was trading away all rebel cards to achieve this as soon as possible!

- Good.

Not too sure about this one myself, but hey... I'm always looking to mix things up with different styles... :)

Besided owning hundreds of buses and numerous items of real estate, PMT, like most bus companies, maintained a small fleet of ancillary vehicles. These varied from small vans up to large recovery vehicles. Somewhere in the middle of those extremities fell things like this Ford Thames Trader which was used by the Engineering Department. Needless to say, all things were neatly recorded photographically.

The Lisbon Trader, a general cargo ship from Monrovia Liberia, unloads a catamaran from it's deck, yacht in front was unloaded earlier. The ship is moored at Ogden Point docks in Victoria BC Canada. This is a common site here as boats usually made in Asia are delivered to local clients. I think part of the reason this is done is because the boats are probably cheaper to buy offshore. Follow the money...haha! People in the Zodiac inflatable boat at right boarded the catamaran to pilot to it's local destination.

This gentleman has been a street trader with a clothes stall on Market Square, Castlebar now for many years
