Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THOUGH SEVERAL old lorries ; being restored on Jersey, )re was no island representa e at the Historic Commercial hide Club run on Sunday, not en from our old friend Ken ylor of St Helier.

His Chevrolet LT (1931), plcred at a local agricultural ow, has a cracked cylinder ck and won't be back on the ad for a week or two.

In the past it has won several yards at Brighton, including

e CM Trophy and the Leyland ie. And Ken Taylor tells me at he will be back next year if can manage it. Other vehicles iing restored on Jersey, he ys, include a late-Twenties Inrnational and a late-Thirties Age.

Ken's Chev was bought new in ay 1931 by Mr Du Feu, a local Older, from Barnes, the Bedrd agent. "When the Channel ands were occupied in 1940,

e Germany Army used Mr Du !u and the lorry on coastal dence work, so it must have had -ough time," says Ken.

It returned to normal work ter the war until 1964, and then as left in a shed until 1970 hen Ken acquired it for £50. It ok him almost three years to store it. FORD'S report for 1980 shows that it is not the rich what gets the pleasure and the poor what gets the blame. Employees' wages, salaries and related benefits rose last year by £64m to £695m whereas the distribution to shareholders fell from £135m to nothing. Ain't that a blooming shame!
