I know the name Larry, can’t put a face to it though. I do know Tommy Dimmick, in fact his name was mentioned a couple of weeks ago when I was talking to Derek Scullion (also ex Waugh’s). Tommy sold his house in Gateshead and moved into his mobile home permanently, (I think it’s in Weardale). Tommy has also been to one or two of our re-unions, hopefully we will see him again at another. Regards Kev.

Good photos Pratman like the ones out of your bedroom, coincidence they were both Badgers, I don’t have any of the Ergo Badgers, one of the best models out of Leyland in my book.

I went to Joes funeral Kev there was a good turn out & a very nice service, I was talking to Tommy he has moved back to The Leam Area but he still has his caravan at Longhorsley, & he intends coming to the next gathering, Regards Larry.
Cookies photos look around the time he sold out, great pics again prattman
hiya,
I drove everyone of those Cookie’S Volvo’s at one time or another when
painted up as Tayforth I’m afraid they was past their best and they was
always breaking down, the Big J was also a motor I had for a bit it did
the job and I can never recall downtime with that one, happy days eh’.
thanks harry, long retired.
