"Pongo"
Pongo? What can you say about him? He's a good friend and workmate, even though he's an engineering supervisor he has never made that transition from being a worker to being a model example of management. He's a relic of a bygone era of British Railway's, he's worked he way up from the bottom and has forgotten more things about the work on the railway than most people have had hot dinners.
He talks to everyone in a decent manner, rather than a pile of crap like some do. And because of that and the fact he has a greater afinity to ordinary workers than you would be perhaps expect from someone in his position, he is liked and respected by many of his colleagues.
He's a solid dependable chap, if he can help someone out he will. He's a bloke you can have a good joke with, and he's not inclined to mince his words in the pursuit of political correctness, a spade is a spade and he'll say so.

Of all the engineering supervisor's that work out of the Bedford office, I'd rate Mr Valentine the highest of them all! Enough said!
Treat others as you would have them treat you, and you will find that they will reciprocate in like. Pongo's evidence of the truth in that saying.
Pongo - 524 - Legend!

They broke the mold when they made him, more is the petty. The world would be better if more were like him.
