tony.p   10 #49 Posted January 11, 2011 Hi Martyn Sparks! just to help fill in your blanks,Jim Sterling was a good friend,the two 'Freds' were personal friends and your fourth blank was Thomas Dodworth who was my stepfather,he worked there for years. I myself drove the delivery trucks and was ecstatic to drive the first 'Dennis' low loader,I can also remember quite a few of the drivers names. Tony P.

Billy Casper   10 #53 Posted January 17, 2011 I remember going on a trip to watch Whitbreads play in a football match down south in the late 80's, my mate was playing for them (Darran Hanson). What a day that was, free booze, free food, but don't ask me what the score was, no idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
