Hi Scriv #115 Yes i remember Derek, can't think what his working mate's name was. I used to have roofing material delivered years ago by Matlock transport I don't know wether they still trade. Chettle was another firm of chettles yard opposite white horse radford. Watts was another firm I believe they were black lorries. Dring transport comes to mind I think they were in Carlton possibly Gladstone street.

I had a mate named Ken Bullock his dad had removal business Bullocks removales top of Redland grove carlton, if anyone remembers them. I remember Harriss removals I think was in netherfield.

Happy Birthday.

Missus said you dont look too well, I said I'm not, I can't keep nowt down only steak an ale pie.

basfordred #5 Thanks for that.

Basfordred #2 It's a lapel badge I had in mind.

Well done Katyj yer deserve a --I'd better not say it.

I'm treading on eggshells here, Would it be a stupid idea to have a nottstalgia badge? of course to be purchased in some way or another. perhaps the size of a ten pence piece. Just a thought or should I keep it to myself?

#9 Rob L Hi Rob I must have worked there obviously in 1972 probably only for a year or so. my trade as a roofer at that time must have dried up for a while, and in them days you chased the money. Harry Loach was the main man and his brother Ezra worked on the tools. Harry Howes was the lorry driver. Chuck fowler Labourer, a chap named Claud did a lot of the drain work, Mick ? was our foreman. such a long time ago. the roofing work picked up and then I left.

A big welcome from me seasidelady From (Karlton) being down here I'm called seaside grandad from me grandkids.

I can't sleep, I've tried sleep walking but it does'nt work. Night all!

Well done Lizzie
