Hi LL,
Alan Flavell still knocking about with a Daf 6 legger in Midland Quarry Products livery, think Mick Siddaway drove that Bison, young Eddie will know as he was a mechanic at Flavells.
Our recently departed friend Trev H used to work for Thomas Ingles 
, one of D.J Leddington’s drivers used to work for Ingles and he used to take that Big J, the one Richard Stanier has got, up to Dounrey power station with pipework from Thompsons!

Hello all.
Would any of the older members here remember Harmo tubes in Hay Mill’s Birmingham, I used to bunk off school on a friday and have a run out with my uncle, I can remember that very close to Harmo’s there was a massive building with big signs advertising Rootes Group/ Commer/ Hillman / Sunbeam and a few other makes, Would be interested to hear if Harmo Tubes are still trading, Thanks.

Morning Graham,
Harmo exhausts shut around 2005, according to my mate who used to fetch the scrap from there, it was on Wharfedale road.
The building you are on about was it around four stories high and situated along side the railway sidings? If so that has been demolished as well, Cheer’s Pete

Only the rusty cherry picker he uses to fix the roof!
Not seen them for ages - and I get muddled with the generations of Johnson - I know “Tom” who is 40 something? and he was living there with his dad “Tom” and his son (not called Tom iirc!)- is that right?
I know senior died a year or two back but not spoken to them for a while tbh
Last time I went past he still had a cargo in the corner of the yard, probably 3 years ago?
Punchy Dan:

Only just clocked this Dan, yes mate they are Taylors
