Jodenkaro Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 When I was a pupil at Pipworth Road Junior School in the 50's my class was taken there for a factory tour. I can't remember much about it except that we were each given a loaf of sliced white bread as a memento. I think i ate mine on the way home.

Shogun Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I worked there as a lad on the vans for a few months in the early 70's delivering bread around the Worksop and mansfield areas,they gave me the sack as I could never get to work on time you had to be there for 5 in the morning,the guy who used to be the driver was was a blonde haired guy who's last name was smith can not remember his first name think it mite have been Mick,he used to stop at a pub for his dinner and have a couple of pints and then stop on the way back home and have a couple of pints,can you imagine getting away with that now days,he used to have a load of stops on the way around visiting different lady friends,he used to sit in the van while I did all the running about,wonder what became of him.
