I dated several girls from Hockwold & weeting, I used to spend a lot of time on the US bases too, I'm just trying to think of the companies I used to work for out of Brandon, I think it was Arrowpack & Blythe Hazel, 2 of the companies that used to move the Americans about, I also worked for one in Bury St Edmunds but I can't remember the name.
It is indeed a small world.I'm not a complete idiot.......

Maybe you used to work for Geoff Byford in BSE, he used to do quite a bit for the USAF.
Just thought I'd let you know so as you would know your old company is still thriving, it's a very big concern nowadays, they run in excess of approx 30 vehicles and is now part of Simon Long Removals.
I just found a young lad in the ditch having lost control in the snow, on my way home from Thetford, the Surf just walked away with his Vauxhall, fortunately, it, him, and his passenger were undamaged. It was nice to be able to help someone else out after all the help we had when youngest son had his accident 2 weeks ago.
Best regards, John

I've just remembered the name of the company in BSE, it was Giltspur Bullens.
Who is running arrowpak now? robin hood senior or junior or maybe someone different altogether, Junior was my brothers friend & we used to muck about together in the summer holidays, I still have a scar between my eyes from when junior through a stick, that would have been early to mid 70s.
We've just got back from taking the dog for a walk & the weather at the moment is glorious.I'm not a complete idiot.......

As far as I know it all comes under the wing of Simon Long although a chap named Tim runs that side of the business, at least he is my son's direct boss, I'm afraid I don't know his surname and I can't ask Carl, my son, as he is out at the moment.
We had some lovely sunshine here up untill anout 30 mins ago but it's now clouded over again, looks like it's going to do something on us again, most likely rain, it's too warm now for any more snow I would think.
