From Russell 8th June 2011

I have known Dick since the late eighties and over this period I recall many funny, some even stupid instances involving him and his antics. Two in particular that stand out in my mind are: The day he pulled into Burscough garage forecourt for petrol, on seeing Lloyds works van, with keys in ignition and no Lloyd to be seen (in the kiosk paying for his gas) decided to move the van out of sight, leaving Lloyd scratching his head on his return. You can guess Lloyds reaction and language when he discovered the truth. Or the time Jean banned him from drinking whisky but allowed a few beers. This was not a problem because if you drink from a can it is easy just to top up the can with whisky with no one being any the wiser, that is until he fell of the chair! Just one more memory, our lovable budding electrician, repairing his car key/immobiliser with glue and then putting it in the microwave to speed up the curing process. Good one Richard!
