You had some stiff opposition with Olly Read drinking in the same boozers... fair play.

 


He was drinking a long way from Broomehall then, I recovered his car from woods below  the landslip when his brother found it but never met the man himself, though I did work in the adjacent woodlands.

Earlier in the eighties he lived at Pinkhurst Place, near Rowhook/Oakwood Hill area, he frequented the local pubs, truth be told he didn’t endear himself to many people, charmless bully accompanied by a minder who sorted out issues when it got out of hand.

 

Edit. Not Pinkhurst, I’ll Google earth it and get the real name.

This is it, sure it was called something different back then, I’ll check with my brother.

Anyway, it’s good to hear you doing so well, for those interested Timon knocked about with a crew a little younger than me so our paths crossed a bit, but not habitually.


Likewise Mick, you seem to have done well for yourself. [emoji106]

I seem to remember one of the drivers at the Ag supplies yard telling me he decked him once, due to him harassing his Mrs.
Sounds about par for the course.

I worked at Broomehall in 1974,  They brought a tree surgeon in who was a fan of "Old Gravel guts" of Maggie May fame and he was raving about his latest album. I was his groundie on some oaks and it was the first time I'd been involved professionally with tree surgery. Although I had clambered around with a Danarm DDA110 at my girlfriends father's garden this was the first I saw of DDRT.

 

Anyway it looks like he sold in  the early 80s and I pulled his car out of Franks wood around 1983.

Good going on the weight loss, I lost nearly two stone when I got out of the desk job and am on my feet most of the day. Feel better for it, less out of breath on a fast walk and generally more healthy. I guess much depends on where you started and where you end - me, 6'1" and 12 stone 10lb now so pretty much right.
