Alf Arrowsmith registered his family road haulage transport business - Alf Arrowsmith & Sons Limited - with Companies House in September 1963. The company centred round his home and depot in Cheswardine, Market Drayton, Shropshire with family members Rosemary and son Malcolm part of the operation.  Alf had been a well known figure prior to that with his cattle trucks in particular, often seen at the local cattle marts.

 The company used primarily Dodge and DAF trucks, and our Oxford model is a typical example of one of their DAF 2800 tipper trucks. Notice the wider cab which DAF introduced in the 1970s with the three wiper windscreen feature. The model is registered A292 AAW from 1983.It is decorated in their company colour scheme of deep burgundy and red and the cab roof in this instance is masked white. The highly detailed cream radiator grille features the 2800 DAF lettering in silver. The cab doors are also heavily printed with the company details within a white line-out.  External trim is finished in black and silver. The silver trailer with red trailer cover sits on a bright red chassis and the company name is printed along the sides in white.

Although Alf’s business was dissolved sadly in August 2021, his original cattle trucks are remembered by the vintage transport community and photographic images of them have been displayed at vintage rallies, which is a touching tribute to a popular local Shropshire lad!

This book was one I read to my daughters when they were young and I am now reading it to my grandsons. I plan to read it to my fourth grade class, as well.

... over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!
Format: Hardcover
I wasn't sure how this would go over with my 3yo and 5yo boys but they loved it!! They always enjoy pulling it out and now I can refer back to the characters to remind them of their manners in a more positive way. The only thing is I kinda wish they had used a different animal than pig, since for some reason I don't like saying "don't be like the pigs" (since I don't really want them calling eachother or other kids pigs). But so far it has been fine :) It's also very nice they included "Be kind to animals, they have feelings too." We say that all the time around here since we have kitties. Also the part about table manners is great since we had already been teaching the kids to ask before being excused from the table.

Manners Can Be Fun
Format: Hardcover
What a cute book! I bought it for my 2 and 3 year old boys. We are attempting to teach them simple, common manners in a fun way and they love learning through books. Manners Can Be Fun presents manners in a simple, easy to understand, engaging way. The boys enjoy reading this book and it's a great way to have positive conversations about specific situations they experience daily like sharing toys, picking up after themselves, whining, meal time. It's a fun book!

Wonderful, simple book for children of all ages
Format: Hardcover
I am 65 years old and this was one of my first books. The revisions along the way have not changed the drawings that much. It is simple, but well illustrated, and gives a basic idea of good manners. I recommend it for every child - it makes them think about behavior. The way the author demonstrates "me first" and "whinney" have stuck with me all these years.

LOVE
Format: Hardcover
I must say, I was very touched by this book, the heart behind it specifically. What beautiful illustrations. Our son with autism absolutely LOVES his ABCS and LOVES planes trains and automobiles. Little boys are a gift from God and this book highlights that. From one parent to another, thank you, we all loved it and loved watching his little eyes turn bright and light up. Big hugs.
