A video we made back in 1990! I remember the good old days of being able to fall and not hurt yourself.

Once again thanks to everybody for all the help with the build!

Ah Kitt Green, fond memories of that place  :daumenhoch:

Come on then spill the beans Marty ??  We grew up there mate, on the estate behind the Lathom house pub .

I worked for HJ Heinz in the late 80s and early 90s and spent a lot of time at the Kitt Green factory. Used to stay at a place near Standish called the Kilhey Court Hotel.  Spent a lot of time in the pubs and clubs in the town centre enjoying myself!

HJ Heinz,  know loads of lads there in all departments Marty its a bloody good paying business that EG.

Job description.on the bean quality assurance conveyor belts, black bean watcher
All applicants must have ahead with two eyes, quick reactions and spot a dud from 3 foot  and be able to sit down on a selection of three shifts, free gym pass and 99% discount in the staff sales on tins marked BB SG. Etc.  :LolLolLolLol:  oh and it's £30k a year start pay.... :wtf:

Lol I worked on the bean line installation as the project cost controller during the MPO project.  When first installed the conveyor rubbers used to disintegrate when they went through the blanchers causing bits of black rubber to fall into the beans and generate shedloads of complaints  Staff Shop used to be good, unlabelled tins a penny each!  Just needed to know how to decifer the product code printed on the tin to work out what you were buying!

Great read that Marty,  my brother-in-law is the operations manager of M&E at Heinz he's a bright cookie  :smiley6600:

I had been going to Heinz since I was a tot, my Nan worked there in Purchase Ledger, I knew all those product codes off by heart Honesti would have won junior Mastermind if they would have had a 5 year old on there  :4_17_5:

One more thing, as a Construction Contractor, I built the staff sales shop at the front of the factory.  .... :LolLolLolLol:  honestly I did.  :daumenhoch:

Purchase Ledger, I knew a few of the ladies that worked on there; Atherton and Cheetham were their surnames but I guess that they would be too young to be your gran!  I remember when the staff shop was built too, I also worked on the project to build the R&D centre and new admin block at the front of the factory!  We used to have offices down the back of the factory near the steam towers, lovely portakabins!

TimBB, I fell off at all the great places to ride in Wigan!we spent loads of time at Pem school and the old Asda. When did you ride? was it in the 80s


The skaters I rode with were Alan aspinall, Christian Johnson, Bob (ian) Barlow. I also rode with Chris Mahoney a bit before he was famous! I also remember going to Ashton as they had jumps there think it was near Dave Arnolds house, guy with mini ramp in is back garden.


The build looks like it's going well, can't wait to have a go on a bike again.

Hiya Paul,
 
I remember you, Porters wood i think? Yeah spent a part of my mis spent youth all through the early and mid 80s in and around Wigan,....Like you say skating all the best places, Winstanly woods was a favourite too,   I did my roller Skating at the rink flirting with BADDH's sister and ALL her mates!!!!!!, and my ramp skating at Warrington  and my BMXing @ 3 sisters, I remember a massive ramp at Rose Bridge school in Pem and a saw my first ET Kuwahara ridden by Jason Grove , . And freestlye a bit like you everywhere, we even found out that Alan, from ALANS BMX fame had a ramp at his mum & dads house so we found out where it was and knocked on. Funnily enough  they let us on for a while. All this fun and frolicks continued until i found wharehouse parties in Blackburn ETC,    I know Bob and the boys all heavilly into their music if i remember rightly. My memory fades aver that some what .

See you soon, I will have remembered more by then i hope??

TimBB

Hi Tim

We were always out and about on our skates and bikes in and around Wigan. I worked at the roller rink for a while in the 80's did a lot of roller skatating back then and I am still doing it now. Got myself some Bauer Turbos, 651 axles,clouds,belair hockey wheels and mostly skate at the over 18 events. looking forward to trying a BMX again!!

I know alan and Bob are still mad into music and think Alan does it for a living?

Thanks Darren, any chance of mailing some photos of the bits we have so far?
