I worked at Burnley from 1974-1987 Jon, so if your dad was in the old Burnley Borough Brigade he would have been there when I started. I will know him, what were his initials ?

Hi sinkov his initials were JY, and was a great pal of Terry Norton,....I have met quite a few of his pals from the Brigade over the years, could possibly have met you?

Jon, was your dad called Jack ? I can't think of anyone else.

Yes thats the one Sinkov!!

Yes, I worked with your dad for years Jon, I don't recall meeting you but I might may well have done, it's a long time ago now. Some of the others I worked with who your dad would know, besides Terry, were Geoff Green, Clifford Ashworth, Bill Waring, Alan Healy, Bill Treacy, Hurst Rawlinson, Eric Holden, Colin Judson, Mick Hargreaves, Bob Sudders, Clive Littlewood and John Greenwood. Did you know any of them ?

Like you say Sinkov. quite a long rime ago,...I remember certain forenames from the list,...and can picture them.
Everyone at that time, had a trade in the Force,..and like my Dad who was a cabinet maker, there were mechanics , electricians , you name it, all helped each other out,... I even remember a Barber, we used to go to in Nelson for haircuts in return of favours.

I have photos of most in the Force from that period,...
It must have been great, having that trust, and friendship , with fellow comrades ,..Something that is sadly missing today.

Sorry BT for getting carried away,..

Behave yourself BT, none of that sort of stuff when me and Jon's dad were working, proper men. God knows what goes on nowadays though.

Back in the day sinkov eh? When men were men and no barmaid was safe!

[sinkov]

Talking of barmaids BT, did you ever go in the Park View back in the day, 1975-90ish. some cracking lasses worked behind the bar there.

Over the pot of tea and crumpets, I'll tell you a tale...
