A1 is that you turning right kev

Thanks Mark! you know how to make a fella feel his age. I’ve had a word with Stan and the shilling pocket money you rip out of is grasping fingers every week is to be cut back to a tanner until you learn to respect your elders. Ps it was sad to see the look of discomfort on his face when he realised he had to teach you a lesson. (or it might have been a smirk). As for Harry I will deal with him at a later date. Regards Kev.

Hi All,
Not sure if any of you remember me but I worked for J.R.Adams, CPS,Glennys,Fresh Freight and Christie Malcolms etc.
I’m not driving anymore cos I work at the brewery in Tadcaster (exporting Broon Ale to America) and I hate it.
I’ve been looking through these posts now for the last week and it’s bringing some fantastic memories back and not to mention a few faces (good times indeed)
If it helps you out at all, I used to have a guitar stuck to the front of my grill when I was at Jakeys…
