Nice one chaps! Ours is on Friday, but I'm working!!!! ::)

due to one member of staff getting really,really drunk 2 years ago and causing all sorts of trouble in the resteraunt and we all ended up getting kicked out , so the boss dosn't bother anymore
we just get a bit more bonus insted ;D
dave :thumbsup:
Ours is in Swindon, so I'll give that a miss 8)
I have my meal tomorrow at a smith and westerns in Chichester that I suspect was a goods shed at one time I'm not sure,
As the security manager who is T-total and drives a seven seater I am babysitter/taxi driver for the night....
I know that feeling ! Just got back from being a taxi... again ::) But at least the food was great and i managed to sneak out and grab a quick pic... Seems sad to think that once the likes of a 9F, Spam cam, 7F all stood here :'(

Actually more like 'Shop and Dine' as most of Bath Green Park s made up of Sainsbury's and they're car park.

Shame BUT this is what the place looked like on 3/05/75 when I was on route to the last day of the Bridport branch. Yes I did go by train no way to sample all that Palmers ale otherwise.
Smashing photo's Jerry..... :thumbsup:
Does anybody recognise any of the motors in Jerry's photos..?
I think that's a white Mk1 Escort parked outside the building in the first one....might be wrong.....
I would have been 7 at the time.....
My guesses are Top There is a blue Mk 1 Vauxhall viva and a MK2 (?) cortina white
bottom picture Austin Devon ? and an A35 Van. I was 18 and lucky to be working for BR so a group of us including my girlfriend decided to celebrate the demise of the branch but while waiting to change trains at Bath Spa opted to pay homage to the S&D. Unfortunately the poor quality of cheap 70's film has made the pictures somewhat faded. I have one of the front view somewhere.

I think the fading adds to the character of the pictures. :thumbsup:

1st Pic: Mk1Escort, HA Vauxhall Viva, In the row from the Cortina- Mk2 Ford Cortina ,Vauxhaull Victor FB, Possibly a Triumph Herald or Austin A55 ,??? ,possibly a Humber Hawk/super snipe?
The post now says image deleted or moved so I don't get to have a guess :'(

Technology has baffled my brain. There wre two identical images on the photobucket thing so I deleted one... Obviously the wrong one ! Try again
Thanks Jerry.
In the top picture I can spot the MK1 Escort, then a Vauxhall Viva. On the right is a Ford Cortina and just behind that another Vauxhall (can't remember the model though - Victor??)
On the right in the lower picture - I am sure the van is an Austin A35
I think we've got most of the cars nailed, but I think the car furthest away of the 5 on the right could be an Austin Cambridge. The 4th one down has me completely stumped ??? ???
