Several years ago when walking to Southampton Maritime a lorry stopped and the driver asked did I want a lift into the Docks. I accepted and got into his lovely Renault Cab floating seat, smart music centre, fantastic comfort; the height of luxury. Which I complimented to the driver. The lorry driver asked me what the 66 locomotives were like and ventured the opinion they must be really smart as well. When we arrived in the terminal I showed him around my 66. He was amazed at what a pile of rubbish our working conditions were!
