HPW, I remember Dodds, or T Dodds tranport named after the owner Tom Dodds. He lived at 5 Cambo Avenue. My Mum used to clean for Tom's wife Kath. His son was called Tom also, so he may still be around. Tom senior used to favour AEC trucks and I distinctly remember his 1950's Mammoth Major. 

Tom Dodds Snr was one of my Step Grandfathers brothers. I remember Granddad receiving a postcard Tom sent him from the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, no idea where the card went!

I was thinking about that last post I did and the ref to baked beans; on reflection I can't recall having many baked beans as a kid but do remember 'farter' peas. Many here will remember these beasts ... dried peas left to soak overnight, with a bicarb of soda tablet chucked-in for good measure - the peas would be cooked as part of the meal the next day.

 

Would that be what we call "Steepy peas" ?

Still have them now with a Shy's pie although we cheat and buy tins.  As my late Auntie Dot used to do an Oxo is dropped in with the peas to create gravy. Happy days 🙂
