This photo was sent to me today and I thought I'd share it with you to show what life was like in printers Butler and Tanner, Frome when things were happier - back in the 70s. On the right of the photo is my Dad and Uncle Arthur on the extreme right - the occasion? A lunchtime draughts cup - the sort of thing that was always going on - sweepstakes, cricket sixes, things that made working in a factory with no sunshine, day after day, bearable. I remember working alongside all these people pretty much and it is a sad thought that all the happy memories of an old company like B&Ts may be gone forever. Shame on Dolan.
