Kit!   10 #15 Posted April 4, 2011 Hi what did he do there what department did he work in sorry for your loss we are all getting older lncluding me  I'm not sure what department. I can ask my mum. He was a supervisor for a long time on the factory floor I think. He worked at both sites(I'm thinking that they moved the premises at some point, I was too young to get the full gist of it). He was there at least 25yrs or more. I still remember the day he came out of work & noticed the cover of the rear indicator of his car had come off. I was dark & feeling a bit miffed, got in the car, started it up, &, reversed over the cover crushing it! He was really ****** off that tea-time!

How old are you now? I think you worked in a different fitter's shop to him. Can you attach the photograph to this thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
