I would catch the tram in the High Street and get off at the Kingsway. We kept a message bike at Duffes Garage. Some of the drivers would let me drive the tram. One day I was caught by Simpson the policeman at the Clepington Road stop. He had just come out of the police box beside Iannetta's ice cream shop. The driver was up the stairs. I think his name was Coul. He played football for Lochee Harp.<span class="read-more"><a href="/reminiscences/parcel-boy-buses"><strong>&nbsp;Read more......</strong></a></span></p> High Street Football Trams Work / Working Life Alan (Ginger) White Downfield Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:24:08 +0000 lynne.davidson 555 at http://bygone.dundeecity.gov.uk
