Hey Up Doddy

 

Sorry to say that I don't recall any of the names you mention,

I left in 1977. Names that I'm looking for are Roy Mitchell, Steve Smith, Dave Clarke, Norman Batty, Tony Jones any of the Slack family.

Hi, I didn't work at Fletchers but my old mate Ray Jackson did. He used to work on the vans. Told me about the time he got a new van, went from the old petrol one's to brand spanking new diesel one. Trouble is when he filled the new diesel van up he thought he was still driving the old petrol job. oops.

I knew that Roy went on to be a driving instructer but lost track,

Ask your brotther to send my regards to Smithy. Tony retired Eh, cant believe so much time has passed. I do recall Jack and am sorry to hear that he has passed. He was as you say a super chap as was his brother George. I wonder if he's still living. Also old Johnnie Crow. He was some character!!

I know Ray well and still see him often. He lives close by me in the Firth Park area and tours the Sheffiled real ale pubs playing his Guitar and singing folk songs.

Hey up kensimmo, only thing I knew Ray picked was his nose. Is this the Ray Jackson that lives on Windmill Lane?

Yes it is Dogman, or at least he did! I know the one to which I refer still lives in the area.

How long ago is it since you saw him?

Don't think I've seen Ray since the mid 90s. The one I know has a brother called Brian. Used to go drinking with Ray in Hartley House club.
