One of the things i really liked about racing at Windermere was the „“COMARADERIE“. Started soon as you arrived , helpers—- saw you coming and within a minute you were directed to a parking spot. Seemed like the dress of the day was a wet suit. Everybody had one —men and women—- [in those days there only were two genders]. If you were associated with Windermere —you had to be adept at everything. Seemed everyone kinda interfaced with everyone else ——tractor drivers knew when boats were launched the trailer had to be parked correctly —leaving room for the next one . There was a tranquil regimentation that meant things ran smoothly. Same faces that were there last year are here this year — and will be there next year. They were always glad to see you —— always a helping hand you DIDNT need to ask . Far cry from the organised chaos of the launch ramps on the continent where LEO had the whistle permanently blowing amid much cursing and yelling —everyone mad at everybody else !!!!!!!!!
THOSE, WERE, THE DAYS MY FRIEND—WE THOUGHT WOULD NEVER END ???????

Due to mitigating circumstances —Christmas has come early to the Wilson household this year .
When a bloody turkey costs £101 and a box of Christmas crackers that put out a ten for a penny hat and a lousy joke that when you first heard you pissed your nappy— i sound just like SCROOGE. THAT IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL —- MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL—- SEASONS GREETINGS — MISTLETOE AND HOLLY —JOLLY HOCKEY STICKS . AND TO ALL MY PICT ASCOCIATES ACROSS THE NORTH BORDER ——- LANG MAE YER LUMB REEK ..

Iron fist & fingers
I would suggest that everyone should read the book IRON FIST about Mr. K and Mercury Marine. There are several referrals and copies of letters that Mr. K drafted that were never mailed or sent. It was a great technique for venting his thoughts before actually taking any personal action. The only "morons" we have out there today are the ones who never ponder about what they have to say before pressing the "send" button on their computer or smart phone.

Suppose i am “GUILTY AS CHARGED” —- I DO TRY AND READ THROUGH THE STUFF I SEND — BUT ONLY BECAUSE “SPELLCHECK” IS SUCH A DICKHEAD .—— not because i pause to ponder .
Roger Hinsdale gave me a copy of THE IRON FIST . WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO RELATE FACT—FICTION — LEGENDS —REALITY .. SEE WHERE MY FRIENDS FIT INTO THE PICTURE .
To sit back and think for myself about the FACTORY wars —- the shift in personnel—- the triumph of Mercury .
Doesn’t reach to the downfall of OMC —— the period between CK going and the tits up of OMC is yet to be written.
I have read various versions of the events —- i have heard straight from the horses mouth via JOHN SHELDON . I HAVE MY OWN VIEWS ——BUT THEY ARE TERRIBLY BIASED AND ONE SIDED .
I have known many OMC drivers —— personell——- personell that left OMC for MERCURY and VICE VERSA . It’s a story waiting to be told .

Another of my fifteen great grand children . ALBERT [BERTIE] STUBBS— with his sister STEVIE STUBBS [[SHE WAS NAMED AFTER STEVIE NICKS]]
Now both CARLEY [named after CARLY SIMON] and husband JOHNNY, are gifted musicians—- He plays a mean guitar and she can belt out some good jazz. Little Bertie just happens to be a whizz on the drums . So much so that he won a bursary for CHRISTS HOSPITAL SCHOOL. This is one of the oldest schools in England around 1400 ad . He plays the opening , and the closing ceremony each and every day —- he can actually make the drums talk. Plays most other instruments too.
