One for Oddjob

AshimotoK0:
I got those pics off a Facebook site Ken and a few people who worked there commented. If you don't do FB I can copy their names/replies for you and post on here.

Oddjob:
Quite a few of them are dead Ash, I know Jeff Hill killed himself (Jeff was deaf in one ear, so his nickname was Mutton Jeff, which is really funny when you think about it) Dave O'Neal died recently, Paul has died, Johnny Parker (who was front page of the Sun for 2 days running about 20 years ago) has died, AFAIK, only 4 of us are left out of the workshop although there could be others. Let me know the names as I'd like to see if I remember them, some may have started after I'd left, I met someone on another forum who claimed to have worked there and it appeared he took my old bench when I left so I didn't know him.

If you want to know why Johnny was front page of the Sun for 2 days running let me know, it's the most unusual story I've ever heard, truly mind boggling in fact and one that I didn't believe until he showed me the scars. He worked on the next bench to me for many years and I miss him a lot, funny bloke with a huge amount of knowledge that he didn't mind passing on to me, I owe him a lot.

Looks like you gave 'em good discounts too Ken  :)

Alexander French, Paul Mark O'Toole and John Hopwood are a couple of the commentators on F.B.  that appeared to work there Ken

Laverda Dave:
£709 for a CB400F😟. A repro exhaust on its own is nearly that these days!
I thought the Bennelli Sei was a good price until I compared it to a Gold wing and it was still expensive🙄.
Did you sell many Italian bikes Ken?

Oddjob:
Never sold a Benelli or any other Italian bike whilst I was there Dave, advert was probably before my time TBH. Never sold an MZ either.

John Hopwood sounds familiar Ash but I'm betting he was a salesman, the other 2 are unknown to me, maybe ask whereabouts they worked?
