Dreva, a couple of names to conjour with, Eddie Robinson,Terry Mortimer, Keith Parkin, and the guy who ran the truck wash but never put any soap in it because he had a sideline…!
used to take unit and trailer for a wash on saturday mornings and all that was in the wash was fesh water.
Longs always had a smart looking fleet, even when they were in Manningham.

les who run the wash died before christmas cant remember the year nice bloke last time i saw terry was at a branch meeting dont know what happened to keith seen eddie at the same branch meeting great blokes all of them :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

if you go to the branch meetings, you know me!!

is that “dingy” eddie robinson, lived at odsal with his sister? he did a bit of casual for a good mate of mine, now sadly deceased - glad to hear eddie is still going (and probably still foaming at the mouth when excited or vexed :laughing: )
