Somewhere in my souvenirs I'm sure I have a letter from him confirming that my application to go "inside" had been approved - I don't mean up Armley Road, I mean to transfer to being a garage inspector I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure he was related to Laurie English who had a highly successful career with LCT, becoming in the end Chief Traffic Officer - Laurie has passed away fairly recently I think.I was also briefly a member of Queenswod Social Club in the 70s, but didn't go there very often, although it is a nice club - they have the election voting there these days - June 4th next. I too remember Laurie English,a real gentleman! I was out of Bramley Garage 1973-93. Do you remember the tyrant Norman Briggs at the Corn ex? he would book you for running 2 mins early. I started on LCT then it went yorkshire Rider,and Metro.I drove the Discovery bus quite a lot on Saturdays around Leeds.It was a good number for a 7th day!

Another one that I have never noticed before, and don't think I've seen on here (someone is bound to prove me wrong).It must have been there at least 21 years though. Any guesses as to where it is though?

Who can forget old Briggsy ?? - one of my best mates at Headingley, a guy with an endless sense of great humour, used to come into the garage chuckling and saying "I've just seen Vesuvius Briggs at Corn Exchange." He called him Vesuvius because he was always erupting
There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
