• Flitting over to the Continent recently, the Hawk spotted the following ambiguous, curious, pussing and sometimes frankly alarming road signs.
• A heartfelt plea for a diesel donation for Romania has reched the Hawk's ear.
Kevin Fuller, workshop foreman at IC Harrison Group in Derby, is taking two truckloads of supplies to four Romanian orphanages in October.
Joining Kevin is his brother Chris, friend Trevor Adcock and Trevor's sister, Tracey, a local nurse.
The intrepid foursome have got everything they need for the two-week trip, except fuel. Iveco Ford has provided a 32tonne artic and a 17-tonne rigid. Federal Express has offered a trailer and local folk have pulled together to donate food, clothes, medical supplies, bedding and toys. According to Kevin, children at some orphanages in Romania are still running around naked and sleeping three to a bed.
So far pleas for fuel have drawn a blank. The Hawk hopes there's someone out there who will be able to help.

Chicken coop — Truck inspection station
Dinosaur juice — Petrol Doughnut — Roundabout Fluff stuff — Snow Motion lotion — Fuel One armed bandit — Petrol pump Plain wrapper — Unmarked police car Srnokey on rubber — Police moving
Suicide jockey — Trucker carrying a hazardous load Ten-ten till we do it again.
That's enough CB — Ed.
