Sorry for taking so long to reply.
No - sorry - I didn’t work for Advanced foods.
Although as I suspected - looking at your tacho chart I take it you are Peter’s son. He and your mum are old friends.

You probably won’t know me, although you did ferry a few of us to a meeting one night in the landrover.
Went to school with your mum and lived in the same street when we were young. Both she and your dad will know me as Les.

This is one of my favourite shots of a motor I really loved. Its even got
my company name on it. Regards Kevmac47.
