Ben is and will remain the Head worker. He will have help, of course, and support.
There will be an election held on 1st May.
The expectation is that Barry Longhurst will be chosen AS FIRST HELPER for England as he is the greatest joker and comedian.
The likely candidate in Ireland will be Norman Nash for same reasons.
The new plan is to send all English workers abroad to Ireland to humanise them, and to teach them how to attract and keep young people and workers to the way, before scattering them throughout the third world countries as aid workers to teach them compassion and human values as well as self denial. When they return they will be less concerned about petty rules, making or breaking and more tolerant and loving.

dont under rate Barry, for someone who probably left school as he could and learned from the great university of life he shows greater persuasive skills the way he goes about it than many others who have had formal education. hes a reformed alcoholic too, apparently in his pre-conversion life he could drink a pub dry
he doesnt preach so much about keeping cows nowadays and always gives you something to think about - i think he's also been sent on a few international convention circuits to represent the uk

Has anyone under rated any one? By your comments you have done so by insinuation. Typical! Trying to cast a slur.

He was in EA when I was working there years ago - with an older brother called Howard whose surname I can't remember [had diabetes is about all I remember].

that would have been Howard Davies and he was a welsh worker; must have been more like 20 to 25 years back as he's been dead for ages but he was a nice man, lost his thumb when he was a kid and always managed to joke about it
----
who was the tall guy who was in the work in england, he must have been nearer 7 foot than 6 and he died a while back
----
what was the one Timmy who said he had been a pilot but probably never been near a joystick?

No idea who the other guys are ... I wasn't in England long and even then never strayed from EA / Debenham convention Barry's stories stayed in my mind even if his name didn't - plus I think I scared him with my driving one day [He lived, and he caught his train] /c

Isn’t there reported to be some dissension amongst the ranks about the suitability of Norman Nash to be a worker at all? And of course he has quite serious heart trouble and seemingly has a “delicate” nervous disposition.

Heard that Ralph Joss had a heart attack and so wasn't able to take up the position. Thought being given to a combining of the Egland and Scotland work under the Scottish leadership.

Not in the clerical, somber mode of worker, but I heard that some elder workers favoured breaking out of the mode especially when the mode has reduced the flock to the dead ( yes, walking around dead on teo legs) and dying. delicate, nervous disposition? = a little bit nutty in a friendly way Well that is the general trend but sometimes without the friendly element.

You mean Norman Nash is nutty and sometimes unpleasant with it? I can't say I know him very well but I know many seem to like to hear of his stories in S. America. No matter what sort of a fix he got into, he always came out on top! Anyway, isn't Alan Beggs supposed to be Tommie's right hand man? From what I know and hear, there appears to be widespread respect for him and I've never heard anything negative about him. I've always liked him - very approachable, measured and as compassionate as you could hope for. I can't see why the workers would side-line Alan for Norman. It's not as if Alan is ill or of unsound character or out of step with the senior workers which some would say Norman is.

Who is berating Barry under the pretense of not doing soand challemging others@ Why post on the board anything about workers education? If you had been round long enough you'd know they don't hold with it, preach against it, and belittle it. Now doesn't that just show you! What did you learn, poster, in the university of life? You shouldn't have! You are pointing out things about Barry. Why are you doing this? Leave him alone, He is proud of his background. Never ceases to show it off. Good on him!

Guest 1 Guest, please read that post again.
There's nothing wrong with Norman! He's a pleasant guy.
There's nothing unstable about him either, he likes a joke.
Unlike some who read and post here, who can't even recognise a tongu e in cheek statement. .......and.................. . Unlike the older ones some of whom have set a trend of unpleasant criticism especially about women.
Alan Begs is a decent kind as well.
