Cheers Dave.

hi lads, that photo of rosser motors park side by side, is that taken at trostre tin plate works, we nearly always back loaded out of there or the other works :blush: :blush: forgot the name, there was another outfit similar name but dark blue did work out of the tin plate mills mostly to Swansea docks,we used to drink in a little pub in llanelli, it was in a side street outside the dupont works, the crack in there was brilliant and always good for a lock in, I look back with fond memories of the time i spent in that area, bumper :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
