Hi barry, nice to hear from you, was unaware of paul powers death. He was a good bloke.

Hi Russ its uncanny that you should leave your last comment on the 20th,I was talking to a mutual aquaintance Wayne Prescot,who told me about this site,he was asking me had I been on it and your name cropped up.He told me that he new you butI just forget how,his dad ,John, used to work in the quality dept so he's interested in what people have to say about the works.

remember me barry from the 70;s went to see an old mate last month archie wittle hes in a nursing home in st helens i still keep in touch with les cooke and roy ellis

Hi Barry - Hope you're keeping well... just been told about the site by one of my work colleagues - he used to work at the old Worksop site. I'm still working in Design at Ardagh Glass (was Rockware) It's great to see and hear from everyone.
