A mate of mine used to work at the Branch, you'll probably know him, Alan Grundy. He's seen all the other photos you've put up.

You are right derek, Jim was guaranteed to be at least 3/4 of an hour early for his shift days, nights or afternoons. Once he had made his mind up you could not get him to budge.
