Things That Gladden The Heart

Wife got a message this morning from an old friend saying she thought she’d just seen her Dad, who died in 2012, on an old clip on BBC Breakfast.

So we put BBC Breakfast on the IPlayer and fast forwarded it to were her friend had thought dhe’d seen him.

It turned out they were doing a piece on the UK’s Best Truckstop winner and were comparing it to the 1988 winner and how things had changed.

The 1988 winner was Mick & Pegs roadside caravan near Harrogate and on the clip they were serving 5 Truckers and one of them was indeed her Dad.

Cue the shouting and laughing followed by her breaking her heart.

We were totally unaware of him ever being filmed or that the clip even existed. It was a great start to the day.

It was mate, he was only 46 in the clip and just how she wants to remember him rather than him ravaged by illness as he was at the end.

Me and Missis T watched it as my lad is a trucker and does nothing but moan about the truck stops. We were both laughing when they were cooking the bacon and used a cast iron” iron” on the grill to flatten the bacon 😂
