butts got poundies work after dcb closed its doorsâŚ
Not correct.
Butts got the contract from H&H, who also had Netto, and not long after, there was some legal proceedings going off I think between H&H and Poundies. Poundies have changed owners twice since I left 5 years ago, and are now owned by some outfit near Leicester.
I still go in from time to time on the agency.

not that long a shot - WW Potter he traded as, it helps the memory that my sister was best mates at school with his daughter, but i never had anything to do with him myself
he was a good mate of an acquaintance of mine, who told me that he had had a breakdown many years ago and was never well after that? my best mate at school also had a cousin who went o/d after working for WWP, colin spencer was his name but again i never knew him directly
just reading that, it sounds more like the deep south of america than west yorkshire - can you hear the banjos, boy?
