SJP Taxi & Private Hire ⭐️
My dad London taxi driver for 40 years
Ok my old man was not a dustman but i bet he wishes he had of been one.
He was when i was born a builder who worked his way up to foreman on the firm mainly building schools and houses and later in life he set up on his own til he messed that up and became one of those bods on the door at vat house in Southend and his last job was the same thing at Shoebury.
So fellows zoners what did/does your father do for a living?
Oh and buma your dad was a building contractor not just a humble builder.
No he was in the far east - Ceylon, Malaysia etc
Actually, he started life on a building site at 14 as a plasterer.
Teacher. And had the very distinct honour of teaching one Franck Moussa during his time with us. Always said he was a very nice young man.
"GREAT IDEA" We did in fact try to go down this route, but sadly we were turned down mainly due to the famous "Health & Safety" at Southend Crematorium.Reading that I was sort of hopeing you fired him out of a cannon. Balls of steel working with ammo all his life.
Not a good place to be. My old man always used to say that the Malta runs were pretty grim but the pacific was really bad due to the Japanese. They didn't play by the rules according to him.
I've worked for the railway in one form or another since 1988. Hope to be there for another 15 before I can retire.
Are you 53 years old?
Are you 53 years old?
I make him 44.
We sat next to each other at Walsall once. Did I look that old! :stunned:
I thought you were doing well for your age!
How come you can retire in 15 years? I've got another 32 years before I'm due my pension.
It matures at 60 and it's a nice final salary one that I've paid into since I was 17. Not to mention I'll be mortgage free at 58.
