That Foden S80 heading up the M5 from Worcester was operated by mail-order catalogue company Kay & Co Ltd, otherwise known as Kays.
The company had offices and warehouses in Worcester, Leeds, Glasgow, Newtown, Bradford, Bristol, Droitwich, Lancaster and York.
Great Universal acquired Kay & Company Ltd in 1937 and continued to run the Kays catalogue as a separate title within the GUS holding company.
On the 23rd of February 2007 Kays original depot in Worcester closed as part of the work to amalgamate Kays and Littlewoods under the new brand name ‘Shop Direct’.
Thanks for the information Paul, my mum used to have a Kays catalogue !!

Hi dean Pat Duffy was in deed from Southampton now no longer with us RIP, not only did he run Scania’s he used to have a breakers yard at Nursling on the outskirts of the town. In the early days he had a four wheeler then went onto artic’s and pulled trailers for Sea Route Ferry then as most of us did we started to do traction abroad for SRF and STS and the like was busy back then, his son has carried on with the company and is doing low loader work and his name is Patrick, cheers Buzzer.
Thanks for the information Buzzer.

All that Leyland Marathon advertising " Fantastic " How could a young school boy, continuously exposed to that kind of imagery not want to get behind the wheel of a big truck and see the world ■■?
Jeff…
I think you are right Jeff,most of us spent our school holiday’s tramping around in a truck !
240 Gardner:
We have had alot of Leyland Marathon’s on here.
And here’s another…
A 17-year-old me, minding a brand new Marathon until the proper driver came back
On the way there, on the M55, we discovered that it would achieve an indicated 76 mph - 11/10 to the guys who built the float, since none of it fell off!

Thanks for the pic Chris !
