Hi mickey mouse Thanks for that info like I said in my post I was led to believe that a Mr Ringtone had previously worked for INGRAMS and then started up on his own I have not been able to track any one down who actually worked with myself at Ingrams in the 60s to try and confirm what we were told .

fliketyflic1 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 My family has always been a ringtons tea family my gran always had it so does my mum and so do i now have ringtons . Like one lady said her daughter used to get it and her bill got big that so to happened to my mum as well were always out when they called but mum would pay it at the end of the month . Will on the day 13 years ago a young cheeky tea man knocked on the door just as i was about to leave for work and said that we owed so i paid my mums bill and left her a note till her i had paid it and that she now owed me the money . I locked the door and set on my way to work at the local pub as i walked up the road the tea man was still on his round and stopped and asked for my number well as i said that was 13 years ago now and im still with my ringtons tea man he does not work for them now left them to do pc repairs . But if it wasnt for ringtons i wouldnt have met my lovely hubby and have 4 wonderful daughters . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdexter Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I remember as kid in the early 50s going to a house on Buchanan Crescent to but tea. The house was across from the shops. The Ringtons Tea man must have lived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
