Now IMO,this chap has either just taken his boiler suit off or he is an “office Wallah” just come out specially to pose for the shot,look at them dancing shoes !!! Shades of “Nosser” Ingram here I think!! Maybe this poser was just picking his motor up for the Trunk! Now the driver/shunter behind !!!,rushing around the front of the Bristol,now he does look like he’s no time to pose for for the camera,he has probably been grafting all day loading the Trunkers then “shiny shoes” turns up and passes some comment about a little bit of sheet tie dangling or similar !!!

The thing is John they didn’t handle anything other than the sheets or ropes on steel John.Percy was a neat dapper bloke who was older than he looks in these pics.His mate Colin Evans who was running with him in another Sharples Foden took the pics.
Cheers Dave.
