Hi Trevor i did work at Ince Moss but i dont remember your name sorry about that

Hi Geoff, I started work underground in 1958,I worked in pemberton 4ft Bob Dowd was my fireman.I can`t remember where you worked but if we came up pit together you used to run me home in your car...you was the only one with a car in those days.

Hi trevor I remember you now did you go to " Lills cafe" in Standish with a mate of yours as I recall.

Hi Geoff..Yes I did frequent "Lils Cafe" with quite a few of my mates. What district did you work in at Ince Moss, was it Percy Hughses district with Bob Collingwood and Allan Melling?.
