Used the pit bus in oakdale untill I bought an old Granada. After a night shift got in my car, no windscreen. I was furious and called the police and after about 2 hours sat in the canteen 1 came. Did I want to " crime" it. Still furious, of course I did. Obviously a waste of time. The worst part of this sad tale was the fact that for weeks after I was the butt of many jokes mostly relating to the fact that I didn't know it was missing untill I turned the wipers on and they hit me in the head

I was sitting in a parish council meeting one night when one of my ex-workmates came charging in having left early to attend another meeting. He'd gone to start his new car, having passed his test a few days before, but although the engine was running it just wouldn't move. We went out to see if we could give him a hand - it was only after several minutes on the badly-lit car park that someone noticed that the front end of the car was propped up on bricks! He must have disturbed someone before they had the chance to nick his wheels.

I won't mention his full name to save embarrassing him, but does anyone remember "Little Mac" from Kemberton and Granville, AKA "Gilbey"?

This is a good one Alan Crossland worked at Wheldale ,anyway for as long as i can remember he had a robin 3 wheeler.
Anyway he got himself a real car a new ford Escourt and parked it in the pit yard when he came off shift and went out to is car he couldnt get in and he tryed for over a hour, in the end he sent for the RAC to help him.
The bloke from the RAC comes and he as no look,then this bloke comes running into the car park shouting at Crossland asking him why he was trying to get into HIS car Crossland had got the wrong escourt.
