Nice to see a photo of Mick.
I knew all the lads, and Bill and May their parents. Regularly had a pint with Mick, Jeff, and Brian thirty odd/forty years ago.

Ozy are William Kirby and Sony still operating?

They are as far as I know John although I don’t see their wagons around as often as I used to .

All the old school have gone now and I’m pretty sure Brian will have retired by now .

Their lads were bringing material into Queen st before it closed .
I knew a couple of the lads but I’ve forgotten their names .

Give Stuart a ring , he’ll be more up to date with the situation than I am .
