I spent many an hour with Fred Greer either waiting for a load at BP Hull where we were both on contract or sat in the digs up Spring Grove.
Fred went on to be a big shot in the T&GWU and I took over from him as shop steward at Gilbraith Tankers for the next 20 odd years.
Fred Woods is still knocking around and I will be supping with Alan Luke in the Con Club Read tonight. Roy Duffield is retired and living up Ossy way.

I don't think any of my old drinking mates from the Horse Shoe who were drivers are still around, I hope so and they pop up on here one day. A reunion would be nice. Zimmer frames and mobo buggies are not compulsary.
