Hi Arthur. You will have to jog my memory as can’t place you at all,it must be my age.but i do recall Norseman Freight. Why don’t you come to the reunion on the 1st Oct then we can all meet up again. Regards Alan Bennett.

no mate,but i gave him that nick name when i worked for coleeeman.
I remember a tale which Vastley Experienced was involved with in his Coleman days,there was a subby with a 7.5 tonner who asked Clive Coleman to put him through his class 1 so he could have a go at driving 1 of those big motors abroad.Barely had the words come out of his mouth when Vastley dived in with his very large feet and said "no lad you stick with your little skateboard you wouldnt be able to handle a big motor.Clive looked at the subby and the subby looked back and just laughed,the subby had been driving abroad for Clive for a number of years and had started driving at Longs quite a few years earlier.He had got fed up with driving big motors and decided to buy a small 1 and stay local

Thanks Harry, but I dont know about “hire” your stick, Billy wont part with money on rental.

The only one I can think of who will need a lift is “Trevor Nussey”, he was ill, which is the reason he didn’t come last time, but said he will come this time but would love some-one to pick him up and take him back home.
His address is :- 45, Cottingley Heights, “flats” just down from our old depot, at LS11 0JL, his phone number is :- 01132264813.
I also haven’t been able to contact Jack Tether since I have no number or even his address, so if there’s any-one out there who knows his whereabouts, please let him know, I remember his daughter brought him last time and took him back since he’s in a wheel-chair, so I dont think he’ll need picking up, but needs to know about the reunion and date etc.
Hope we can get them all there, and good luck to those who are on holiday that weekend. Regards :-Jack
:-Jack
sadly not with us anymore rip
