great to see some of the boys described as hero's, we were known as bloody hooligans at the time
i was a tally boy, as we were called, in liverpool 1967-1968 at LNTDO liverpool north telegraph delivery office
am so pleased to see woody is a member, i have a copy of his article in classic bike some years ago which had some great photo's
i myself own 2 B175's from 1971 on j plates, one from my old office LNTDO and 1 from our other office LSTDO liverpool south telegraph delivery office
i live semi retired in thailand now but have 1 bike on display at the transport museum in birkenhead, will send some pics when i find out how to do it
i got my bikes from the great john lawrence, an old messenger boy from barrow in furness who has rescued about 30 bikes from the scrapheap, god bless you john, and used both of them daily up until a few years ago when i moved here
does every know about the old movie from 1963 which is about a group of messenger boys forming a pop group, david hemmings stars in it with steve marriott who went on to form the small faces,and heinz, some great scenes of the boys on bikes throughout the movie, i watch it every few months, its called Live It Up fabulous movie
would love to hear from anyone who worked at liverpools 2 offices or birkenhead where i did my training, many thanks
