The first job I had after leaving Rockwell School. There was no bakery in Dundee then and all the baked goods, such as they were at the time, had to be picked up at the Dundee West station having come by train from Glasgow. It was quite something to see all the vans lined up loading their baked goods for the day. My driver was a fine chap called Ernie Mitchell. Our route took us into Lochee which was where I lived then. Happy days! Johnny D.
