That was my great grandfathers business, I've heard lots of stories of the boys in the lorries going to farms for the weekends etc. The house on Douglas drive has just actually been sold to the first non anderson in about 100 years, my uncle still lives in another house in Douglas drive so the anderson name is still there.
