Franky,
you might remember a few names that spring to mind from Tillotsons, Old Geordie Welsh the welder, old Albert cant recall his second name, seem to remember him specialising in fitting windscreens ( Hit it harder, GENTLY!) and the paint sprayer, was it Charlie? I swear he had the paint from every truck he ever painted ingrained in his hair and skin, Geordie Gill aka Geordie blob and Terry propshaft to name a few.
Happy days
Tim
