Thank you Tony for that information.
Last week we were talking to someone in the trade who said he had heard that Alan had passed away.
But it was not something that I wanted to mention just in case it was not true, a bit embarrassing.
Alan was the first to teach us on cleaning carpets. The first training course I went on. His wife kept us supplied with tea all day and I remember that Alan’s tie kept being sucked in by the machine.
He was a good bloke.
We would like to offer his wife our condolences.
Ray & Jackie
