Only tensioner stories that spring to mind are the legendary Pete Tyas, sadly departed, and his antics of placing chains and tensioners in unsuspecting co-pilots' bags down route....the first time they picked them up, after Pete had 'kindly' loaded them on the crewbus was just before Customs clearance...

They were then stuck with rather heavy bags for the nightstop.

Then there was the story of him dispatching SF wearing a blonde wig and tutu.

And the one about the shower down the back, when full of pongoes

And the one (that may have been him or a GE) when he pretended to have been on the roof all the way from Lye to Norway....

And the one 'exploding loadmaster' post eating a Lamb Jalfrezi

Than man was a legend.

So sad that he did not live a full and happy retirement......

He and the late George Brown must me making mischief upstairs.

I keep their names alive by regularly recounting stories....what great times!

What about the one in New Florida 2000 with ML and his white trousers......another 'character', albeit he is still very much around!

Happy to expand on any or all of the above, but the names on this thread must be well aware......!

Cheers
