[Gremlin]

The clock was removed soon after the M6 opened over Shap and not many people used the old A6 anymore.
The famous Jungle cafe near the clock closed the day the motorway opened.
The Jungle was a good transport cafe where drivers could let the engines cool before the long slog over the hill.
It was also a good place where drivers would do a bit of bartering with other drivers, buying a bit of whatever they had on board.
It was no good me trying to sell anything, caustic soda or sulphuric acid had no bartering power compared to a few bottles of Scotch.
Happy days.
