Not sure what I’m gonna do at work once this thread is over.

I might actually have to do something.

I had some holidays I had to take so haven’t missed work but can’t help but feel I could have used my time more productively than reading the endless comments on here.

I wasn't aware of that but it wouldn't surprise me because he was absolutely brutal.

Once he'd decided anyone was surplus to requirements, no matter who were, they were gone.

I know he made his son Andrew start at the bottom. He was at Cambridge University but in the summer holidays he worked at Millfield.

I know it was at the bottom because I was asked to show him the ropes and if I'd been further down the pecking order, my desk would have been out on the pavement of Matamba Terrace.

This in the very early 70's... My brother ,after one shoot came home with a gun case which he put under his bed and slept on . The next morning, he was off down to London to Purdy, I think in Bond street to have the pair of guns cleaned. He had to wait for them and then travel back.. Nice new Granada I recall.
