EVER SINCE THE IDEA OF THIS BLOG WAS THOUGHT UP, WE HAVE BEEN BADGERING A.F.(ALAN) MATCHETT, THAT WELL KNOWN RACONTEUR AND BON VIVANT, AND PART-TIME RAMMER SALESMAN, TO GIVE US THE BENEFIT OF HIS EXPERIENCE IN WRITING AND PHOTOS OF HIS MANY EXPERIENCES OF THE INDUSTRY SO THAT WE CAN ADD TO THE WEALTH OF HISTORY WE ALREADY HAVE ON FILE.
SO FAR, WE HAVE TO SAY THAT OUR PLEAS HAVE FALLEN ON DEAF EARS, SO JUST TO REMIND HIM OF HIS DIM (AND DISTANT) PAST, AND HOW GOOD HE WAS (IS ???), FROM THE 1978 JUBILEE NEWSLETTER, COMES THIS GEM OF LITERATURE ABOUT ONE OF HIS FAVOURITE SUBJECTS….BOOZE !!
OF COURSE, IF HE FAILS TO COME UP WITH ANYTHING ELSE FOR OUR DELECTATION, HE WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED AMONGST HIS CONTEMPORARIES AS THE POOR MAN`S OZ CLARKE !!!
