Why anyone would be disgruntled with Amess is beyond me, he always seemed like one of the good Tories.

Yup, never left the backbenches for fame and power, simply did his job as a decent MP, looking out for his constituents interests. A sad loss.

Never, my father was determined to get away and came to Surrey. All my male cousins seemed to work there and have passed away, asbestos related cancers.

I well remember the 'lagging teams' in the old steam boiler ships...  My TKD instructor is a proper Plymuff bey and an ex-yardy from the scaffolding gang back in the day.  He was actually at a funeral yesterday, he's been to quite a few recently - lots of them ex-yardies.
