Keephatch47 November 1st, 2023
I worked at the Ivanhoe Garage in the 1960s for a couple of years as a petrol pump attendant at the weekends, while I was still at school. Gina (or Mrs Burgess as she was to me then) used to bring me in for meals, sitting at the table with the rest of the family - David, Gina, David's parents and Ian. I remember them all well and also Mrs Burgess's scrumptious Sunday dinners which she would put in the oven to keep warm if I had to go out and serve a customer. I remember her as a warm-hearted, kind and welcoming woman who treated me like one of the family. Neil Wastell
