Hi, I knew two drivers called Norman at Gees, one called Driver and the other called Mills. Was one of them your Uncle?

Sorry to hear that your Uncle Norman has passed on. I can remember that he used to do the Chesterfield, Matlock, Ripley run (among other places) I've been in touch with a few people from Gees and have sadly learned of many ex-workmates who are no longer with us.

I remember him very well. We very often used to go for a bacon butty before we set off on our respective rounds. He used to drive the red and yellow thames 15cwt van. Like you say, "Happy Days!"
