Sniffy:
Frank Willis ended up as the general manager at Shell Bitumen, great Fella but a nasty piece of work if you crossed him, used to loose it if things went against him but much respected in the industry, Died of a heart attack about 15 years ago
Gordon Prescott was another top bloke, Always smart (for work) kept a good motor and looked after the job, if i remember he was on Laportes Perporate powder - would do anything for anyone, he still sings in a Runcorn choir I was told recently
Gordon and Big Jock Trotter in the Urmston canteen
