[Wynonie Harris]

Sam Wignall was not a man to get on the wrong side of. "Pop" Cordingly was firm, but kindly, as I remember. I was similarly useless at woodwork - the coffee tray I'd attempted to make was such a mess that Pop fished another out of the cupboard which had been made by a lad who'd left. He gave it to me, saying "here you are, just varnish this one up and tell your parents you made it." It lasted us for years!
