Great idea Buzzer, but I,ll have to be a stowaway cos my passport,s run out.

Hi Tone,

“Stowaway”! you haven’t got a passport because when you came back from the first world war, driving that old Mack they never checked who you were, and you’ve been here ever since :unamused:

Firstly, well done to Harry for enhancing the photos.

Gazzer…thanks for taking that mate, brings back pleasant memories.
I know it was always popular with local families, especially at weekends and at
mealtimes always chockablock with camions…I bet that ain’t the case nowadays is it ■■?
Is it still run by the same family Gazzer , and wasn’t there a connection with Castets.■■?

Jimmer…nice to see those photos again mate…pity about that fella stood by
the fence spoiling it. :unamused: :unamused: …only kidding Jim. :laughing: :laughing:

Mappo
The owner of Vivonne bought Castets for his daughter as a wedding present.

Thanks for that Kerbut, I knew there was some connection.
I seem to remember the guv,nor being a big chap…well big bellied anyway,
and the son who used to work at Vivonne ended up at Castets.

Thinking about it Mappo ,they must have been married 25 years now !

Yeh Kerbut it makes yer feel old don’t it.
I remember when Vivonne opened there was just a dirt track to it
off the RN10 for a while.
When was that do you think…about 1983/4 I reckon.

Yes ,I would think thats about right . The one thing that I do remember was the smell of drains in the bar at Castets ,where the toilets/showers were below ground level and the smell used to come up the stairs.
