I didn't know he had a licence to sell beer to sixth formers 
the more I read the more I like Ron. I think he talks a lot of sense! I also like the picture in the article. I remember a kids programme called "Watch" where he was in a shed making fireworks. This was also in the 70s I think. I would love to see that footage again.

Ron is an inspiration. So many have come and gone during the time he has been in the game, he remains as true today as he did at the beginning. He personifies all that was great in the U.K. industry and yet, on a personal level, displays complete humility, patience and kindness.
