Hi........I was a Saturday van boy at Merthyr depot in the late 60s. Made many good friends including Lyn Jones and remeber so many names of workmates, including supervisors Bill Hardwicke, Paul Mason, ? Earwaker from the Rhondda,Keith Morris, plus drivers and van boys, namely Eddie, big John, Alan Jones, Malcolm, John Firth, Alan Bird,Roy Flye, Phillip Chennels,Dai Selway and ' Shirley '......Also remember some of the vehicles used including a Karrier Bantam (740 NTG).... Bedford (968 LTX) and two Commer walkthroughs (FYL 648C & CLL 550H)) .....I worked routes around Merthyr town, plus Ebbw Vale......Saturday morning we would all meet up in a cafe near the Goat Mill Road and remember my driver buying me cheese on toast and a frothy coffee for breakfast...... A couple of goes on the pinball machine and we'd all leave together and head in different directions on our ' runs '......... A full days work and then queue outside the depot at 4.30 to unload and pay in........Really great days and fantastic tips at Christmas.......Hope you enjoyed my memories... - Corona soft drinks
