I only wish that I was that fit Jakey! I’m not bad on the flat with my stick, but struggle with slopes and can’t get up steps unless there is a handrail etc to pull myself up. That restricts me for carrying anything two handed up steps or stairs! I did manage a lot of the neighbours lighter boxes though, but there are five steps into their new home, plus four storeys, so I dumped my packages in the hallway for the younger element to distribute! We live on a 1 in 5 hill, and in a three story house (plus caring for my wife full time) which isn’t the ideal scenario really but we crack on and get on with life! Plenty of folk worse off than us in the World. No, I will leave removals to those younger and fitter, I might just about manage a light tipper job and some spanner work though!
Pete.

I remember going onto the Sparshatts stand at the Commercial Motor show in the early 70s where they were proudly exhibiting their first full fibreglass luton van. I cannot remember what chassis it was based on but while talking to them I tod them our first fibreglass pantechnicon had been built by Marsden in 1965 (JUP965C on Bedford SB chassis) and at the time of speaking we had over 20 full fibreglass Marsdens operating so they were a little late into the fray. They knew who I was as they had seen our vans but never had the wisdom even to venture up into the North east with a representative . As I left they were sitting with their mouths wide open as they never realised how advanced Marsden were at that time. It just shows you how you need to keep a close eye on your competition 7 try to keep one step ahead whatever business you are in…
