Hello again Andy, Simmo aka the “Poison Dwarf” died a few months ago. He was ill with the dreaded cancer for a few years but seemed to cope quite well with the condition. I often saw him in Gorleston High St. and we would talk about the old days. I didn’t hear till recently about his death or I would have gone to his funeral.
I wish you luck in your new job on the Ensco 80 you seem to have taken to the drilling game like a duck to water after being on the road for a good many years. Anyway I looked through my pictures and look what I found, the Ensco 80 in Hollyhead in the process of having some modifications in the mid '90s. That’s the late Peter Ecclestone in the picture and we had taken up some equipment from GY. My old 3300 is in the background. Cheers Haddy.

I take it you mean Brian (Simmo), I worked with him on Cargo Care… You’re right Andy, his bark was worse than his bite. He was always shouting at people but wouldn’t see you in a muddle, & would help you out if he could. Bit like Jim (Psyco) Cole, he had a similar temperment !!!
I didn’t realise you’d left ‘Second Best Services’, I wish you luck in your new career, will probably bump into you sometime.
i remember jim also another of lifes great charichters sadley gone.ive been left psbs for 4 weeks now,the opertunity came up so too it,lifes to short to worry about the what ifs !!
Am i right in remembering that MAT Transport had an office in trelawney house and a yard down near matthew cornish’s yard, I used to go on the friday nite trunk as a boy. Anyone tell me if my memory is still serving me correctly please.

I can confirm that the DAF belonged to John Ball… That’s me standing in front of it, although I’m sure you’re not supposed to share my pictures from facebook
