Latest news from HQ Ron is that M/E has been suspended.No one seems to know if he will be reinstated.Morale is at rock bottom as i'm sure it is in the shops.

Can only concur Ron.Mark certainly knew his onions. The centre is only a shadow of what is once was.

I remember the first time I had a bet with the major at Ascot probably 35 years+ ago, I bet £20 on the world cup with him, as I was stood talking to him and JP walked up to him and asked what price a nil/nil draw was an that match, the major said 7/1 and JP asked for 3k on, the major didn't blink.

the score was 1 0 in the first minute

I think when the major died Matthew took over the business, but unfortunately he died tragically in a car crash, I don't know the other son but was told he wasn't interested in the business and just wanted to party on his boat in the Caribbean.

I settled in a couple of Heathorns shops in the early Eighties, Redhill and Dorking they were taken over by Corals. Getting a shop visit from the late Michael Simmons was terrifying for a 19 year old greenhorn.

I hope mark got a good send of
I got an e mail from him this week.
I thought about popping along in a cab and putting it down to the firm,
but I live 230 miles away and as I cant have overtime I cant see them picking the tab up,
will you keep me informed how the evening went.
regards,
Ronnie.
