I went caving with John Thorne. He's still knocking about. probably still in Clayton. He got very keen on cycling and his wife saw very little of him. The story is told that one day he came home from a ride and found the housed totally empty. He phoned the police to report a burglary. Truth was his wife had gone and taken the contents. He probably laughed it off, as he always had a smile on his face. Jack Spibey was at St John's with me. I think he is still in Acc. His lad owns a big paper business in Leyland
