Jim, whop died yesterday, came to Accrington Grammar School late, having moved here from the Wirral. He was a helluva character. He stoo0d as an idepednet in the 1955 mock election , polling 91 votes, which was more than some others - a sign of his popularity. He left aged 16 with no GCEs, but retuned in the September to achieve some passes, which took him to Teachers Training College. He then worked locally before becoming a full-time comedian.
