Great picture .

Drove one as a works van loved the sliding doors loads of room.

Did the Evening Mail use them as delivery vans and throw the bundles of Evening Mails and Sports Argus out and on to the next paper shop. Saturdays evenings awaiting the latest edition of the Argus to arrive with the latest scores.

My uncle had one as his firms van back in the1960s nice and warm as the engine was in the cab.

One of these a 1953 one fetched £26,000 on Bangers and Cash auction in Feb of this year not bad.

Walls Heart for me please.

Went over to the Normady beaches back in the early 1980s from Dunkirk to Omaha then onto Caen and Bayeux. Very emotional and humbling. My uncle was rescued from Dunkirk . We owe them everything for how we live today and the past 78 years.

We owe them so much . .They will never be forgotten.

Happy birthday have a great one.

Loved Yardley Old Church and listening to the Church bells when someone got married on a Saturday and played on the park all through the seasons with my mates . Football Cricket Tennis and the Puuting green with the red metal flags with the numbers on. Happy times. Please correct me but iam sure...

Yes remember the singles box also made salt and pepper condements which were trimmed with Formica. Remember the smells the Suds Engineers Blue. Glad to hear you had a career in engineering. A couple of my mates went on to do Toolmaking etc. Glad you are enloying retirement . As you say happy days.

Thanks for post could not remember Mathews name. Yes they were well equipped .I remember the forge and doing casting and polishing . Woodwork making a chisel rack which was in our shed for years with one chisel in it but i made it. Dove tail and Mortice and Tennon joints. Those skills...

I did not agree with that type of punishment at all and it was brutal . Around those years we the pupils took it as the norm and those in authority let it carry on for a number of years. Over time things have got better but like i said at that time it was all we knew but did not agree with.

As long you were not recieving the punishment. Then again if you told your parents about being disiplined they would have said serves you right. No complaints.

Just a reminder while were on the subject only 257 days until Christmas.

I totally agree he is reminder of Christmas in Brum .
