WhoDickedUs - I agree entirely, Gerry was a 'gentleman' of the 'old school' who understood the meaning of the word HONOUR and as such whether you liked the man or not, you could not fault his even handed conduct. Sadly there are very few left of his diameter and though his retirement is well deserved one cannot help feeling that he should take advantage of the newly announced legislation. GH engendered loyalty within his staff and that fact is self evident even now. Such a legacy - the people who call themselves Longmint could learn a few tips but hey........that is just wishful thinking and pure fantasy. I doubt they can understand the concept of Honour. Clearly their antics over the last 20 years or more have shown that to be true.
