I was trying to think of the names of the polony makers who worked at the Abattoir during the early eighties, before the polony making section went to the Central Kitchen. If I remember correctly, one was called Heinz.
Can anyone remember who they are
Haven't a clue Mike. But I loved the polony in OM. 36_1_711
Wasn't mr Leube one of the Fleischmeisters in the 70's to 80's .. I also recall Mr Huntley also possibly being involved in the polony and salami making ,,, on our tour as first year appies , he took us around the abbotoir and to the smoke house ,, we all got a nice salami as a memento of our tour ...
Hi Georg Jnr & Sandy B, having been brought up on Luncheon meat (which is similar to polony) as a youngster, the thought of eating any processed meats has not been very high on my list of to do things for many a year, so therefore do not eat any of these types of meats at all. I remember being offered slices of meats by the polony makers but I think I might have offended them by refusing their offers.
Anyway, although I've heard of the names you mention Sandy B, I don't think those are the ones I remember
Hermann Leube ('69-81), Nick Huntley ('6?-7?), Bill Groom ('70's), ? Wagner ('60's) are some of those that worked at the abattoirs. My dad was a "Fleischmeister" or master butcher and always hated making polony and being called a "polony maker".
hve asked my dad as he worked at the abbattoirs every day. Dad seems to recall Mr Leube was head of the abbattoirs and George Groom and Bill Groom and Nick Huntley Dad is going to ring George Groom to find out.

Nice one Stennie!
:emot112_2: Very Nice Indeed.
Mike are your parents still alive. "Uncle Bob" was my first foreman as an auto electrician appie in the town garage in 1970. Very thorough he was and would not accept less then perfect work.
Dad is still alive, stays in Brackenfell..... Cape Town.
Sold he's last car last year and gave up driving.
Mike please send him my regards. I am not sure if he still remembers me from 1970. My very first job as an appie was to make up the electrical connection leads between the Mercedes mechanical horses and their trailers.
