Years ago he used to bring every week 15 shirts to be ironed

Now we wernt allowed to really but she did then charge £15-00 and if our boss was about from his own shop she took them into the hairdressers next door to hide them

He was one of the very few MPs I can say that I really liked.

He was part of a delegation of Labour MPs visiting RAF St Athan when I was on my fitter's course. He was the only one who drifted away form the officers guiding the tour and spoke directly with us airmen. He just seemed interested in "us" and how we were getting on. He knew from his own experience in the Merch that life was very different for us "other ranks" compared to those of the officers.
