Bank Top Garage

I joined the Bank Top Garage at Whickham, Bank Top, after being made redundant from George and Jobling. It was a bit run down and not what I was used too, but I thought I would get a wage so I would give it a shot. The main business was haulage and petrol sales so I was left with the task of getting customers with cars to come in. So smiling politely at the pumps, I told people what we did and how much we did it for, it was like dragging a yard of chain but I endeavoured and soon I began to see the fruits of my labours as clients arrived and booked in work. Greeting customers with a smile and "Good morning" was much better than a suit with a dorsal fin attached and it still works today. I met and worked with a lot of nice people in Whickham but sadly I was a married man with kids and left Whickham for more money in the bus business...now life is good. Kev
