Ex-couriers

As someone who used to dispatch in London, I wondered about
whether I would know of anyone on here from those days, or if
anyone who does it now has comments on the trade in general. I
know I would just be interested in reliving those days, or
hearing about companies I used to work for, and maybe the odd
character that was more memorable than average, for example, Tony
Kilo 44 at Ambassador who got me so wasted sharing a very
generously loaded joint I fell asleep on the bike for 3 hours
down the road from his house! If this has been done to death
already I apologise, but just struck me as could be interesting.
Cheers, Nev

 

Was that Tony Powers? Rode an ex-Plod BMW?

 

I didn't know his surname, and at the time I think it was a CBX
550. I think that's the correct model des, the one with the
intertangled downpipes. Lived in Hampstead, I think it was, but
don't quote me.
Another guy I knew, very friendly jovial West Indian guy, worked
for InterCity Couriers, then another little outfit, reputedly
died in a bungee strap in the back wheel incident on the A40.
Often hoped that that wasn't true.
