This East Yorkshire colour scheme introduces a special page for all your requirements for assistance,
information, or anything else that our readers may be able to provide. Buy, sell, ask, offer, request
- anything you like in connection with our Classic Buses theme.
Email your ad to me here. It's all free. Adverts normally
stay up for about 3-4 months, unless the advertiser asks to remove it sooner.
In order to avoid folk getting spam from having their email addresses published on this page, I add a
space after the '@' symbol. So john@smith.com becomes john@ smith.com. You will have to remove the
space yourself before emailing the advertiser. Sorry for the inconvenience, but it will hopefully save
folk getting their addresses picked up by nasty robots, and their mailboxes filled with adverts for
strange things.....
************* !!!!!! BEWARE !!!!!! *************
CAUTION !
1. Beware of scam emails offering to send you a cheque for more than the amount you asked for. The
buyer then asks for a refund of the excess, and you subsequently discover that the original cheque has
bounced.
2. History has proved that ALL inquiries from Nigeria regarding items advertised on this webpage
are scams ! Ignore them all. And be very wary of inquiries purporting to come from Spain too!
3. Finally, do not reveal your bank account details over the Internet to people you do not know.
************* !!!!!! BEWARE !!!!!! *************
*** NEW WARNING ***
THERE ARE LOTS OF IDIOT SCAMMERS AROUND. Be wary of bad English, and "gmail.com" email addresses.
Here are some recent names. Please let me know if you get any more. LOOK OUT - IT'S A (largely Nigerian)
JUNGLE OUT THERE ! (By the way, the fact that I'm publishing their email addresses means that they will be
picked up by the nasty mining robots and sent lots of spam. Perhaps they'll spam each other!)

About a year ago I came across a photo on the web of a High Street scene in Newport, Gwent /

High Street, early 1960s". Now I can't find it.
