Well that day has come to say farwell to a very good friend a work college too for over 30 years.
Yes he is retiring today.
54 years of age and i do wish him well.
I put a note up on the notice board at work 4 weeks ago stating this and if anyone would like to contribute anything come and see me, well i can tell you never again , what tight gits and what idiots we have working for us and i must add most have known Dave for over 20 years too.
There is 3 separate collections going on as some people wants to make sure that Dave knows they have gave a little bit more then some others, and the other one has not got much and feel its best if they just do something themselves.
Well i did managed to get him £70 cash from the drivers and other staff members and also some new bike tyres he wanted , these are special tyres that he users to go off road on and bugger me aint it good when we have a customer who we delivery all there goods for who supply the best tyres ever, and to me cheap after a quick phone call, i did try to get them for free, but they did assure me i got them at a very very good price:xxgrinning--00xx3:.
What have i done for my mate , well after over a week of taking pictures and editing them i have made 2 poster/picture frames , i have got a good friend to make a cake of a Crowfoots carriers lorry, some cash from me and other little silly things i now he will laugh and cry over too.
Yesterday the owners son came to see Dave even though he was traveling the opposite way down the country for his holiday to say bye and to give him 2 bottles of some sort of rum and cut glasses, Dave says these are over £100 per bottle , i have no idea at all,
A little later the owners wife dropped by with a gift and to say good bye too, today we are having all the directors here with what ever gifts they may have , i do hope they treat him right.
Its going to be a happy but very sad day today, i am not losing a friend but a work college who has watched my back for many many years , yes there has been some fall out times but the next hour or so we are back to keeping the job going and taking the Micky out of each other too.
I may bore you all later with some pictures :xxgrinning--00xx3:
