in Commercial Moto', (23-29 March), I would like to suggest the following information:
The delivery van is possibly a Leyland Retriever (early model) belonging to Pointer Transport of Norwich, working under contract, to transport fodder from Barking to Bedlington. (Perhaps this is the origin of the term 'doggy bags'?) Alternatively, it may be a Leyland Boxer or the precursor of the Terrier or Mastiff.
I hope this light-hearted explanation causes some amusement, but I should be very interested to hear the true story.
