In G. Johnson's letter, (CM December 29) regarding the Leyland T45 he appears to be confusing BL's car plants with LV's truck plants when he says workers are sleeping on the job. His comments are an injustice to the many loyal hardworking people employed by LV.
As for his comments about no after-sales service, it is obvious he does not run any LVs. If he did he would be more qualified to comment. Chorley Central Parts Operation offer a first-class service on both stock order and VOR, while Leyland's engineers give a high degree of technical support in the field.
The remark "well proven lorries" like Fords made me smile. Perhaps G. Johnson has not noticed the success (or lack of it) of Ford's two latest models, the Transcontinental and the ASeries.
Finally, look out Ford, Volvo, Scania and the rest. The T45 (having driven it) is as good as D. Mallinson thinks, so eat your hat G. Johnson instead of talking through it.
