I was just reminiscing again about the old days in Goldenhill during the 50’s and 60’s, I attended the GSM from 57/61 then left and took an apprenticeship at Cowlishaw & Walkers iron foundry at Knypersley, after 12 months taking home a pittance I went to work in the pottery industry and my wage trebled, wow I thought I should have done it earlier ! Anyway I worked in various departments at various factories untill the age of 20 when I became a van driver delivering pottery to various shops and at 21 became a truck driver working for a small company top of Snead hill called Henry Fox, I stayed there for a while before starting with BRS and Beresfords, good old days, 1980 saw me doing my first continental trip to Italy with them, what an experience that was, no sat nav and very little motorways in those days, just your book of lines (atlas) but after a good while you get to know where and where not to stop ! Well I retired from the trucking industry 7 years ago now, my last job being a container driver, easy job that as you only have to open and close the doors, it’s loaded/unloaded by others, as an active pensioner of 72 I still like to travel about so I’ve got a caravan and tour the UK and travel to Spain for the winter, I love life, until I next reminse I’ll say cheerio for now,
