AITCH:

Do I remember Smith Daires.
Could I ever forget it - back in the late 40's and into the early 50's I started out making my own money - well me and a few lads with the same idea.

At the back end (facing Careless Lane)of the dairy there was a brick wall with broken glass on top -

We had a rope with a hook on it, thats what we used to get onto the wall. The empty milk bottles were stored there - we didnt have to climb down on the inside - youve guessed it - we could reach down and get the empty bottles - yes you got a 1d in those days when you took them back to the shop - or - used them as payment to get into the "Bug" cinema - what the hell was the name of that place?

We never took too many - why spoil a good thing - it was money that was always there - providing you werent greedy.
Come to think of it - I may have received my training with Dickie B, but then it could have been somebody else?

PS Who do I owe the money to - The Milk Maketing Board? will they accept Euros?
On the other hand if you give them my email address they can contact me direct, its:

There was a Keith Mitchenson who lived in one of the houses - he & I went to school - to live in one of those - his father must have worked at the dairy?
