Tankerman:
Thanks for the memories Spud.
I remember all the names of the tanker lads but only Jack Hopper from the flats.

I would love to see the group photo if you can find it, email it me if you don’t want to put it on the forum.

Were you a driver there in those days, if so I must have come across you at some stage.
I used to go into BP regularly from Shell Stanlow from 1970 until 1977 then I was on the BP contract for about 10 or 11 years after that.
We used to lodge up Spring Bank until we got the High Datum Roadtrains and then we started using the sleeper cabs on Park Street. There was a good boozer near by where we were well fed and watered.
On the odd Friday of I was staying out I would park in BP yard and go with one of Bulk’s drivers to the Country and Western night at a Club between Saltend and Paull.

Thanks for the photo Spud, it certainly brings back some happy memories, how were you involved with Bulk and when?

Johnie Rose has sent me a few more pictures from his Dad Cec, a proper old school driver who I had the pleasure of working with. He could certainly teach the young uns something, of which I was one.

Thanks Giddlepin, that pic has brought back some good memories, Davis SA400 was always a distinctive sight on the road

Wheel Nut:
Those Hull drivers spent more time in Woodside than they did at home.

Bulk Storage became Hoyers. I worked with a lad from Paull called Paul. He was an apprentice with bulk Storage before going to work for IBC on Hedon Road

Another new Mercedes 2033 ready for the road supplied by Humberside Motors at Newport.

Remember Unifreight?

I remember Unifreight, my old man was one of the men behind it and we both now work for Syd Draper and his youngest son Craig or Loadtec ltd as its known now. Syd and the old man still talk about the good old days and how that motor couldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding !
