Great pic Russ, Geoff is my uncle pictured with his son Paul. :)
Thanks Brian, your uncle Geoff was very good friends with my dad Dennis (pictured on the right) and came to his funeral when he died in 2002, I've been looking for his number recently but been unable to find it. Get him to email me if poss. Hope he likes the other pics. lol
Russ, great photos, brought back load of memories of the lads. I remember Brian Bradshaw (warehouse manager) was always playing with a camera at work. I wonder if he has any photos?

Hello Merv, you may remember me, I drove the fork lifts with Kieran and little Jimmy in the warehouse. I remember your Dad well. I was stationed across from where he used to live until a few years ago. I have spoken to your Darren a few times since we all left the works. Hope you are well.
