| I worked in the Mill periodically,a great place
to work ,with many characters,lots of nice girls,and friendly people.
I worked several periods in the Mill, so did my mother.
I spent a year in the Labelling with Jackie Winning as my boss and
three nice ladies from Barrhead. We had a lot of fun making labels,
which we printed and I delivered to the flats, and dispatch for
Stardisks Spools and Boxes.
I also spent time as a Barrow boy ,taking the thread when complete
from the 4th and second floors down to packaging, I had a great
time and met most people. For a young guy it was a little embarrasing
to come to flats with lots of girls and women ,they used to whisle
and shout "hows it going doll", I used to feel a little embarrassed
in those days. Think i liked many of them in secret.
Another favorite was the Tea lady I would still buy a roll and chips
,or sausage if i could not, to mention her great tea.
Wish i could go back again for a visit...
