Reminded me of my dad when I was a youngster....he drove a old FX4 black cab and during the winter I've seen him light a fire under it to get it going !Many years ago I had a delivery job. At one of my customers, the housekeeper always had tea & biscuits ready for me. She regarded me as the fount of all knowledge. When I was young, working on the farm, one of the men would come in and ask for a match to start the tractor. I never knew whether he was joking or serious. I was able to tell her that he probably was serious (see methods of pre-heating old diesel engines).
Another thing she asked (she was ruddy, short, and round) – When I was young [etc] some of the lads used to call me Dexter. I never knew why. I found that one difficult to answer without being too personal.
