Hello Carl.Caught up at last ,so just to bump the thread.Hope there is some more.Regards Mike.

Hi thelongdrag

Thanks

I have been having a lot of hospital attention and visits including another brain scan mid Dec and an appointment at James Cook Hospital at Middlesbrough has just come today for Mid Feb in the Neurological department when I need to be accompanied by my son who knows my history and must be prepared to spend the day there. what are they going to do in a day? They must be giving me a brain transplant!

I still have so much to write but with all thats going on cant get my brain round it.

I will wake on a morning with many ideas but when I sit at my computer they are all gone.

I’m having a bit of a rest and will be back with more stories shortly

Best wishes
Carl

I received the followig Email from Eddy Worthington. I asked him to post it, but cannot wait. Hope yu don’t mind Eddy. Its so good to hear from you and know you will have so many more taes to tell, and hope this encourages you

Hello Carl…Have just found this site and could not believe it
when I saw W H Williams, I have had a buzz ever since and all the old
memories have come flooding back, when you mentioned MPT and Harry Hawkins
that was my first night away from home aged sixteen and we left on a sunday
morning having met your dad (Harry) for night out money in marmaduke street
we then left for a removal from Inverness to Newton Aycliffe.
The time I worked for your dad I learn’t so much from him and the older
drivers, as the firm got larger I would say to some of the lads that I was
Harry’s wagon lad and he used to do removals himself and me, and I don’t
think they believed me that he use to work and run the businsess, we would
either be delivering paint tins from Aycliffe to Hebburn or maybe Hardy’s
Furniture shops or just a local removal and he would be calling back to
Marmaduke Street to see what messages etc had been left, I helped dig the
compound out next to warehouse, your dad had Ossie Broomfield in with his
tipper wagon need I say it was a Bedford.
Anyway just to let you know I have become a member of the site and will be
watching off and on, by the way I can remember about 50 odd drivers and
fitters some really good, some good, some not bad and some bloody bad.

Eddie Worthington PS…Your Dad and Mam always treated me like an
adult even when I was just a kid they were great and “Gentleman” do’s not
do justice to your Dad, like I said,I learnt so much from him.

Hi Carl…Pleased you posted it as it saves me going through it all again, I will be posting some bits in fact a lot of bits, I know I have picked a bad week being xmas etc, so in these holidays I will put things down on paper and post them after, one thing I must keep you right on is Colin Watson did not start in 1958ish, I was there before him and Ron Harris and I started in 1963, a little ■■■ bit, the drivers that where there when I started was, Jimmy Clemments your Grandmothers brother, he never got any of the new drivers etc names correct he always called me Eric, then your Mams brother Bobby Marsden then Tommy Stoddart, Harry Hawkins, John Nixon he lived at Duke Street, Low Spennymoor I lived next door to him when I bought my first house, your Grandad and Dad loaned me the money to buy it (£250) and I paid it back weekly, then the new boys who had just started before me Roger Owens and Harry Blatchford, there was no other kid in the County had a job like me, it could be rough on local but then I would get a Distance removal so got paid for travelling the country and seeing the sites, I loved every minute of it, when I was with your dad and we clled back at the warehouse or if I was working in the warehouse such as cleaning your Grandads car, your Granmother always brought a cup of tea in for your Dad and when I was there I always got one from her and a biscuit (Annie), that car he bought from Mr Woods (Wood & Watson) was white if my memory is correct and your Grandad took me out a few times in it to see how I was progressing with my driving, more to come.

Eddie
