jackson 301 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Alpine Windows, that's a name from the past that stirs some memories. I do believe the Company was one of the first to offer double glazing; would that be during the 70's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mudgie49 401 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The Alpine, before the plastic windows,was the guy who delivered the 'pop'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I remember the Alpine Pop deliveries around 1975. Is it the same company? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Nope! Alpine pop was a national concern, finally sold off as franchises to drivers in around 1986. No idea after that (I had a few months at the Beeston depot in 1981) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I remember arguing with the delivery guy mid 70s I tried to cancel the order at the end of the summer as "We dont drink much pop in the winter" His reply "Well I like to sell all year round" My Reply "Well you better start selling coal then" He never got another order from us. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
