The "Rob Brothers" lorries would line up at the Mid-Craigie shops on a Friday night, thets were we would meet them. One of our drivers was called Graeme Ritchie, dont know why his name has stuck ! Some of my pals..Jim Duthie, Jimmy Mamby. Yes it was hard work but as laddies you got on with it..Great tips, and the Auld coins weighed a ton in your pockets. The hard part was waiting for our lorry on a freezing Saturday morning on the Kingsway. We always did Menziehill on a Saturday. We got ten bob, plus tips..that was for Thursday and Friday evenings and all day Saturday..Great memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-68807602345222348152011-01-17T06:45:19.143-08:002011-01-17T06:45:19.143-08:00'Blue Moon lemonade' ha! havn't though...'Blue Moon lemonade' ha! havn't thought of that for a long long time...<br />yeah, did look a bit like antifreeze, but tasted swwwweeeetferryladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178311043240143173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-40563856484062079552010-04-01T23:25:14.846-07:002010-04-01T23:25:14.846-07:00I worked on them in mid-70s.

We used to hang round pub back yards to pinch them and there was a lemonade store at the top of Taits Lane where we used to get a bottle or two when the bloke on the forklift turned round. We called it the lemonade factory, run by Strathmore Springs but dont think they actually made it there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-56721297448594159072009-08-31T14:20:41.218-07:002009-08-31T14:20:41.218-07:00dain the "big T" is no gonna help yi in ...dain the "big T" is no gonna help yi in kirkton like :) and em fae the "hull" :)yi bassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-56101239018149477462009-08-31T10:28:23.019-07:002009-08-31T10:28:23.019-07:00Ah the memories, i worked on the bon accord vans a...Ah the memories, i worked on the bon accord vans as a laddie in the late 80's early 90's and it was a great laugh back then, delivered douglas, st marys, kirkton, ardler, blackness (nightmare we ah the closies) the van used to get bricked in kirkton place every other saturday morning after a few oh the boys on the van flicked some toddy signs at a wee gang oh them.
