Certainly do. "The Best By Miles" was the slogan - but the vehicles didn't always live up to it! Based in Stanningley. There were still a good few vehicles left last time I had a poke around that area - no, I'll re-phrase that before some bright spark picks up on it - last time I walked around there to see how things had changed, but that must be 10+ years ago. So I'm amazed to see your picture! I wonder when Miles ceased trading - surely it's not still in business?

Just looked on Google. There's a website, www.milesleeds something, so looks like they're still there. Haven't seen one of their vehicles for years, but suppose they may hire or sub-contract.

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.
