I often spoke to Roy Jones and found him a pleasure to deal with, good plannerman

I did the sugar job for a week when Ken was on holiday one time.
I think Ken only did one trip to the middle east ,Baghdad with me and Bob Matthews,but that was enough for him,Europe was far enough after that.

Bob Matthews,who is the transport manager you can hear in that DVD,“On your bike”, lived at Knypersley.
Didn’t Ken’s brother Roy have something to do with Hoyers start up in the UK?
