I am the same as you Cliff he always had white hair and always the gentleman when Ladys were about. We all will miss him but hopefully he will have a good send off on Friday. See you there mate.

Another regular through Poole,does anyone know if they are still going,cant remember the last time I saw one of there motors,so probably finished or been taken over ■■
They finished years ago Dean I worked for them for a few weeks worst job I ever had he was a horrible man.A shame because they had some good work, but I think the Smith family from Keynsham put the money up to start the company.
Gordy’s send off - click on the link below to see the Echo’s write-up.

Yes i do remember when Bunns finished it was a awkward slip road to get in their , depot,i think they had a soft drinks distribution ,? most of the drivers i knew, all dispersed in to the main fridge haulage companies as they were all very experienced fridge, and meat men.no matter where you went a BUNNS would be there.that is where ifirst heard the saying [where you to] meaning where are you going…

Hi Geoff that pic of Dennis Lister I have, where did you get that ? no bother though remember when his son Simon used to ship out for Colin Wilks aka Hocfun now that’s going back, they also did a lot of banana’s. Remember Dennis and his father in Wilksie’s office trying to extract funds which was difficult sometimes. Did they also run a 1418 Merc back in the day something says they did, hey is Simon still about ? cheers Buzzer.

Hi Buzzer I borrowed your Photo from one of the sites on TNUK as I remembered Denis Lister used to live in Christchurch and I remember seeing that truck around Poole a lot back in the day when I worked for Reg Bugler who was friendly with Dennis.I do Know that they did a lot of bananas,and seem to recall a Merc but have not seen or heard of Dennis or Simon for years.The name Colin Wilks rings a bell but can’t think where or why I know it.cheers Geoff
