was he a youngish lad or was it alan used to talk to him all the time my memorys rubbish yes she likes telling us what to do thanks for the pm

 

Skinny bloke with glasses, cannot remember his name, could have been alan? I do remember they was only 3 or 4 on the hammers if not counting neville. A young kid, who was learning on them at the time. A dark hair fella think he had a tach, but my memory could have merged him with someone else he was about mid 30s to 40s and the skinny bloke whom which accident happened late 20s?. I Cannot remember who else. Did you yourself work on the hammers? I worked on the machines that trimmed the cutlery ready for the hammers.

Yes I remember him, we used to call him howard jones too but I cannot remember his real name. His machine was nearest to the door. Always sat on that small stool. I cannot remember what he used to do though, whereas most of us used to rotate on different jobs, he stayed on that 1 machine. Some of those names does ring a bell. They was also a theresa up in the warehouse.

Yes thats his name, it all comes back now:)

 

tommy..clopper..pam..judy..andrea..

 

These names ring a bell, did they work in the press shop?

I was in the press shop for around a year, the people was ok but they was all a little older than myself and more reserve. I was around 17yrs. I helped out a few times in the warehouse when they was short staffed and while I was there heard they was a job going, which I applied and was accepted. It was more fun in the warehouse it was like one big family up there, all mostly my age. People from the press shop tried to change my mind in going into the warehouse, they said it was all rough folk. But they was the nicest people.
