I wasn’t about re Clive P or Rex R.
Gren was notoriously sniffy with a lot of people. He was ok with me for whatever reason. His office was 30 or so paces away from the library and he always worked with his door open.
We sometimes were able to let him have file pics of whatever subject matter he was drawing. He loved the valleys and if I recall a lot of his characters had a city scarf on (although published in black and white....I saw the colour version lol)
Karl W and Peter J were like chalk and cheese with Peter talking more about the footy. Karl liked his boxing above all.
I was 16 when I started there and my claim to fame was having my pic with three other fans on the back page of the Echo catching a train to Leeds for the 4-1 FA cup defeat (Derek Showers for us)!
Long time ago now. Halcien days!
