This thread reminds me of a driver with Norman Lewis. He always told other drivers or customers he owned the company.
Where are you now Miles?

I used to meet a driver on the ferry quite often who drove Scania with a tag axle unit called Alan who I think was Normans brother this would be late 70s to early 80s we shared a cabin a few times when the Norwind and Norwave were on with the 4 berths cabins right at the bottom of the boat and I recall a spanish? barman Emille who when the drivers bought him a drink he would come over with his round and say one with me

Yes. Alan is / was / still is Normans brother, Miles was no relation though, just a bullsifter.
Anyway, sorry for thread diversion, back to Cheltenham.
