A g jacob and sons removals and storage oxford

Thankyou you both for your kind words , its a tough time at the moment ,but we got to plod on for dads sake , he was working 7 days aweek to get to where we are now .

Dad moving a piano in 1962 .

Hi Steve,What no piano shoe or webbing?hope you are keeping well.

Yes jeff it must of been a harpsicord !!! ,I did notice he was on his own :open_mouth:

Hi Steve,that would have been a three man job on pickfords ha ha

Yes Jeff I know "dad should had at least one man with him! :laughing: , did you notice his apron ?

Hi Steve, yes i noticed the apron,the mark of a true removals man.

just bought in four containers from the 1st stage of a move in to storage , bloody long walk and could not finsh this stage due to poor comunication with the students and college , one lad was in bed and the young girl was half dressed when we came through the door , i was at the back “honest” .

THREE FLIGHTS UP WITH A SPIRAL STAIR CASE . :open_mouth:

My old girl

“the hoffs baby”

This shot was of a lane on the ■■■■■■ hill , unable to get close with the wagons " we did not want to scratch the trucks" over three days 6 containers into store so we used “dads van” and did 50 trips up the lane to the waiting containers , this lot is going to the south of france in September .

My dad moved them to this address 28 years ago , we opened the air raid shelter which dad filled up all them years ago , the dr said he never even tryied to get in there since dads filled it up . :open_mouth: , there was also a very oldstone through which was by the front door on its side, the dr said dad refuesd to take it any further as he had waited a couple of hours to get the keys and was knackered , it was still in the same spot for 28 years :laughing:

Good job he liked dad , we have been working for him for 40 years .

They rang me to bring my truck down with the tail lift to help .

dads van does come in handy some times .

I miss this old bugger .

Hi Steve Is that van of yours a bit tricky in a cross wind?

Hi jeff , its not that bad but did one crap myself going over the Manchester ship canal (empty) :open_mouth: , lucky that I managed to shelter myself alongside a forty footer .

The hoff loading containers in Christ church college .

Do you think he keeps the old girl clean ?

Did a mornings work today at Robinsons (abingdon) unloading a mega container full of goods from the states . Part of a fleet line up .

The rest .
