Yeah, knew both very well. Bill Tew once bought in tea bags that were so weak, it took double the normal amount to make a pot of tea. As an aside, in those days, if you were on your break, or spare, you made a pot of tea, and everyone else helped themselves.
Billy Biggs, or chunky as he was usually known was always an excellent mate to be with. He never let the secondman drive, but was nevertheless a good mate. I was born, and lived a few doors down from Billy Biggs.
