I was talking to someone who still works for them, an eldery Irish gentleman the surname is Flaherty who remembers you working for them and he recalls that you also spent a lot of time singing!!! At least if you wrote some lyrics there, it obviously served it's purpose!! Thats a bit of a leap from Anglo, to T.O.T.P's to Greenpeace! I am a big supporter of greenpeace esp their boycott campaign.
Happy new year to you & yours
