My fist job after leaving school in 1969 was in Goods Inwards at Ceag, working with Malcolm Bishop. A few of the faces I remember in the film are Pat Farrar (nee Robinson), Idris Rimington, Ann Dickinson, Mick Phelps, Maurice (the handyman) and ......? Thomas, the Irish woman who worked in the stores. Other familiar faces, but forgotten names. I also remember Jack and Linda Betchetti, George Farrar, Eli Leach, Ken Wigglesworth, Tommy the lift man, Maureen Wilson, Carol Holland, Kath Nickerson, Dawn Frazer, Denise Curley, Alan Swaine, Christine Bone, Jack Devonport, Jack Arscott and a few others. Well, it was a long time ago!

I worked at the Ceag from 1966 to 1969. Is there anyone from those years out there. I remember the 3 Glover sisters, a young teenager called Val who used to sing while she worked and someone called Eunice. My name was Sonia Barrett

Dave. Sincere apologies for not responding to this message, which you posted some time ago. The system stopped sending me alerts for some reason, and I just assumed that my videos had dropped down the pecking order. Drop me a private message if the system allows.
