Aye,Smith and Robinsons from Trafford Park depot had the Proctor and Gamble contract for a start,running Scania 110s or 111s can’t remember.They were still doing two trips a night to Staniforth Road BRS in 1978 with two x 20ft boxes on a skelly.Maybe BRS took the work off them after that.I’ve had stacks of lifts with them over Woodhead and I was once early enough to get a lift back to Hyde from Middlewood Road.
You know what they say in Sheffield about decorating:–
“The man who invented decorating wants f****** , and the man who invented f****** wants decorating”
