My father in law, Joe Jubb worked as a delivery driver for Burdalls back in the sixties. He delivered mai ly in the south and west country I think, he left on Monday morning and was gone most of the week.

My uncle Fred Norton worked for Burdalls 1950's/60's, he drove a dark green A35 van which was loaded with samples such as cards of sticking plasters/bandages as well as gravy salt and other Burdall products. His job was termed "rep" as was a common name for sellers in those days.

He had a strict regime of completely emptying the van at the weekend, cleaning it and putting everything back, I got the job of helping for 1 shilling which was a lot!

Prior to this he'd been a pub landlord and he was still in the RAF as a reserve.

Jobs were easy to come by and I guess working for Burdalls was one such job.
