It is fantastic to know that that Bales is still around after all these years, i used to work for Bales tours & travel from 1969-1972, it was my first job at 15, i started as a boy friday graduated as a messenger boy with company scooter [vespa 180] then after 2 years became a travel clerk for most of the time i used to report directly to mr. Bales who used to occupy the very top office in those days the offices used to be in coventry st. directly above playland i think now it is the troccadiro. I certainly had happy memories of those days not leaste when mr. Bales took us all out for our xmas do it started at a local soho restaurant where i had t.bone steak for the first time in my life then on to see the film ben hur. Great days indeed.
