You have got to see Majestic Outlook to believe it
Yes, Brian I did go to Norman Park State School :D then on to become one of the first intake at Balmoral SHS.
And also never believe a bridge or shopping centre height sign board
cheers
A mate of mine was telling me of a food delivery he made many years ago, to a mental hospital in the U.K.. He drove in and did the drop no worries, but the truck wouldn't fit through the arched gateway when empty; he had to 'borrow' a number of patients to get out. :D
I remember going to see a portable parking lot that had tried to go under the rail bridge on Parramatta Rd at Granville,and took the top deck load off it down onto a lady driving an early Corona :( yes, and they were expensive british luxury cars :mad: which belonged to the company I worked for.
Yes, I drive past the Ho-house nearly every day.Quote:

They usually put heaps on reasoning that if they were caught they were done anyway so might as well make the fine worthwhile. Usual load was "four square of wool". Four bales high and four bales wide, overheight, overwidth, and overweight.
How old do you think I am Brian? :mad: No mate, I don't go that far back. :DQuote:
