Would that be llllllittle RRRRRodney 
What was the name of that Cockney chap that used to work in the office. Wore tinted glasses, always smoking. Was replaced with Steve Jones. He used to brag about swinging. Vince or vic springs to mind.
Mel Pithers.
Yes. That’s him. Was an alright fella. Seemed unfair that they make him redundant to take Steve Jones on though. That was odd.
I’m not sure he did too much to deserve his job in the office, strange fellow.
mel was pushed out in rather dubious circumstances there is a pic of him on page 4
Steve Jones could read and write and knew how to read tachos and knew the law regarding drive time directive etc, it was a no brainer, Mel could have gone back to driving, I could be wrong but I’ve a feeling he got his ■■■■■■■ in a bunch and sealed his own fate.
Steve Jones was a weird one though. Could never get my head around him.
I remember delivering a tractor to some village near Salisbury, and I could not get my wagon up the hill to the house. It was a gated road, with a bend right by the gate. My wagon wouldn’t go round it.
I called in, and he asked if there were any other vehicles up this lane. I replied there was a land rover up there. He replied ‘You aren’t much bigger than a Land Rover, don’t come back without delivering it.’
If it wasn’t for a friendly farmer passing with forks on his tractor, I would of been there a long time.
Another time he called me just as I was leaving Allen Power (Didcot) at 4pm, and he wanted me to go to that pool table place in central Bristol by 5pm. Luckily on that occasion Tony phoned me shortly after and told me not to bother.
Leggett Swindon:
Mel Pithers.
Is that the same Mel Pithers that drove for J&B Bulk Haulage Cricklade years ago ?
not much bigger than a land rover, he was welsh.
Although bizarrely he was born in wales and sounded English and Les was born in England and sounded welsh.
quite possible there was a conflict of interests with mel in the office I remember when steve jones started he was class 2 then went up to class 1 good old lad ruddy tall though who remembers kalikraft AKA halitron from clutton and steens furniture from Hampshire both oversized and heavy I used to hate the returns cheap flat pack wood

Everyone was tall stood next to you, Herb. 
anyone for a BBQ ? a personal hate of mine these were closely followed by Ensinger which made the hants run on a Thursday very easy for the driver not so easy though on the weight!
here are a few more former members of staff you have P Smith K Wallbank +agency worker a dimly lit view of a packed warehouse plus another one of mel plus I thought I would throw one in of EU55
Ken wallbank went to work for the council as agency driving a recycling lorry, then left, then returned, then was no longer needed.
I’ve a feeling the bloke in the office was Paul (maybe), he married a girl half his age I remember that.
here are some more former members of staff both Swindon and depot wide
you have LR DW and SB
And yes paul did marry a young lass she was the daughter of Lesley who used to do data entry in the evening
Oh god I’d forgotten about DW, his midlife crisis would have filled two episodes of Jeremy Kyle.
