Hi Evan.
I also worked for the CWS Milk,until we were
taken over by Unigate/Cambrian dairies.On the
CWS we had four wheelers with closing door,but
on Unigate we had three wheelers and no doors,
just a canvas flap.Bloody cold in winter.

is it still made there Ron , I know the Yanks took it over a few years ago , and McCormack brands have hhad a habit of centralising production . The label was changed in 2006 after objections to its racist content the Daily Mail article is below

The new Camp Coffee label. Click on the picture to
see the original label
The makers of Camp Coffee have changed the label on their famous jars - after complaints of racism.The makers of the chicory-flavoured essence are now using an image of a Sottish soldier sitting side by side drinking coffee with a turbanned Sikh.Earlier labels showed the Indian apparently serving the kilted soldier which provoked a storm of protest from race equality groups who claimed at the time that the label delivered "an offensive and racist" message.As an interim move the firm removed the tray from the servant's hand but now the label depicts the bearer and the Gordon Highlander officer sitting as equals - no longer promoting the master-servant Days of the Raj message.The Central Scotland Racial Equality Council has welcomed the latest updating claiming that it will help change the mentality of young people to see how different races now relate.Mukami McCrum, director of the council added: "It is an encouraging and progressive move. Times have changed and it is heartening to see that a new message is being sent out."At one time Asian shopkeepers even threatened to stop putting the brand on
their shelves because of the label.A spokeswoman for Camp Coffee now owned by the giant McCormick foods group refused to reveal if the race criticism was the reason for the changes in the labels stating only that the brand underwent "continual development."She said: "Any alterations to the Camp Coffee's label design are given careful consideration to ensure the products continued success."Camp Coffee has been made in Scotland since 1885 and was said to have orignated when the Highlanders requested a coffee drink which could be brewed up easily by the army on field campaigns in India.

It's the same as the person that was on Robertsons Jam. ( careful choice of words)
We would save up the part to get a metal one.
I never thought for one minute that it was a person just a cartoon.

Hi! David.
Welcome to the Club. early mornings ,rain ,sleet and snow.
Think we could start a Thread re. the experiences or hazards ,of going door to door .A learning curve alright.
Those jokes about the Baker , milkman ,coalman etc, were not without substance. One comes to mind, of the new coalman, dispensing his favours . At the end of the first week he,s exhausted shouting "Coal for money"'money!
