They Said It"I notice that I have once again made the Weekly Birthday Honours List. I must say It gives one such a frisson to see one's name in print - especially when it's not at the head of either a summons or a police charge sheet. I hope I may be forgiven for making the rather melancholy observation though : that this week I recognised more names from ' in Memoriam ' than in the ' Birthdays' list ! I wish you and yours a great New Year Tony, along with all my old comrades-in-arms that might remember me from my days in the trenches. I'm not a praying man but my thoughts are with our country's footwear industry and everyone involved in it. Fondest regards, 600/2096 LLOYD, D. J. Lance Corporal, 'B' Company, 2nd Battalion, Bata Imperial Guard (Retired)" - Dave Lloyd, Former Bata SA staff member. Could you wish for a more entertaining 'happy New Year' than that?
