OK, So where are all you happy people who slaved in the h/s and wire welding depts of Lesney Products in the seventies. It wasn`t all bad, and we actually had some laughs.  Come on now, there must be other employees still alive as well as me.   cheers Fred Wren.

And hot wheels jw and the lesney work buses

hey i was there in 1977 left there to go in the army, used to love that the bus would pick me up from the crickters pub take you right into the factory ,imagine a firm doing that now never happen. I only went there cos i heard all the rumours, about all the crumpet that worked there, loved it for the 6 months i was there. good times my  job was to push these big metal things into some sort of oven cant quite remmember but it was hot and hard work loads of birds in that department lol 

I can remember a lot of mates wives who worked the evening shift

Not quite the same ilk, but First Data continue to run a daily staff bus between the old Priory Crescent 'Access/JCCC' site, then into Southend, up the London Road (picking up at Cricketers amongst many places I think), then meandering across to Eastwood, then Rayleigh, then on up to the current Basildon sites. So it does still go on.
