Back in about 95 in London, I started work for a flooring independent inspections company assessing flooring that had been damaged for insurance companies for a short while (hated it went back on the tools after 2 weeks)
They were an upcoming company anyway and the guy that trained me for a week, helped start the company, but got into financial trouble through gambling and his shares got bought out leaving one sole owner. Later the company after i left got sold to a big conglomeration including the insurance companies and he missed out on a fortune.
No word of a lie, I grew up in hurstpierpoint and my Nan and grandad lived in albourne
There was a farmer named George Hole in albourne, my Nan knew his wife who she attended the local women’s institute with.
I have 3 older brothers so can you imagine us 4 boys in our early teens sitting round the Christmas table
While my Nan spoke of the wonderful marmalade that her friend had made, she often said both names when mentioning people so we suppressed our laughter and kicked each other under the table whilst being scowled at by our parents while my dear old innocent nan spoke of her friend........Fanny......
