Donald was my boss at Knights of Old and I knew Margaret. I spent my formative years in the yard at Old (some nice houses there now) and like to think I was a part of helping to grow their business, we grafted! There were only 3 of us there then, plus a few in the office and the drivers. I'd left before they moved and can imagine the villagers were delighted! I learnt so much there and the most diverse amount of products I have ever handled. Robert Horne paper, giant bags of Wotsits, scaffolding, canal boat building and even sent an old ice cream van in a container to Africa with a moped for a flying doctor, as well as fertilizer where they made their initial money. One of my duties was loading containers on the crane and never had any formal training. I witnessed a fatality there and had to go to the High Court in London years later which ended in a large insurance payout. Very different times from a H&S perspective and an event which ever leaves you. Probably the main reason I moved roles. The old boy Horace used to walk down the yard. Shame when they went under and one of the old guard was still with them. I can remember when that happened and thought immediately of the poor dog Daisy. I wouldn't be surprised if the Gene Hackman incident had similar circumstances. |

I had some involvement at the time. Very sad indeed. Amazing, but understandable, how much sympathy there was for the dog. |

Fantastic actor. The French Connection is one of my all time favourites. It also reinforces my opinion about never wanting to go to Marseille again! |
