Yes, I remember Ken, from about 1970 - seem to recall he was a kiln filler in No. 1 plant?

Anyone remember "Dusty",a good friend of mine for more years than I can count!.

[WTAW]

I remember "Dusty". If I remember right he left for a while but came back whilst I worked there. Goodison was a common name, Nichols as well. They stopped doing the kids parties but for a while carried on with Christmas presents for employee kids as well as Christmas cakes and hampers for ex-employees.

The snooker table held some years of muck as well!
