Hiya Vic, yes I certainly do remember Bob, last time I saw him was in E+E at Middlesbrough, he was still working for DHL, just doing local, he was of the good blokes when I started at Harold Woods. Looking at the Nichols photos makes me think we took fuel there on Phillips, am I right? or wrong again as usual!!
