Since graduating with distinction from Portsmouth University in July,2002, Doug worked for Captec in Southampton. In September 2007 he accepted a position in Winchester Arqiva. That month he also passed his motorcycle driving test. | Sadly Ronnie passed away on Sunday, 7th March, 2004. We found out in June, 2003 that he was suffering from Mesothelioma, which is a cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. There is no known cure but he underwent Surgery, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy in the hopes of slowing the rate of growth. Unfortunately none of it worked. Last year the House of Lords decreed that the widows of men who died from Mesothelioma are not entitled to full compensation if the insurers of all the companies who employed and exposed their husbands to asbestos cannot be traced. Fortunately Tony Blair's government added an amendment to the Compensations Act which in effect overturned the Lords decision.
| Hazel graduated with a LLB (Hons) from Reading University on 07/07/07. After a brief spell in Human Resources she is now a Legal and Contracts Executive for a Pharmaceutical Company in Slough Chiltern International. She has worked really hard and I am very proud of both my children. |
By Doris Hazell FOREWORD I still can't believe it - they don't want me any more. Twenty-two years of bus conducting - cycling two miles each way to the garage summer and winter - in rain, sunshine, fog, ice, snow and gales - late turn and early turn - happy in my job I thought - but no more - it's true - I've got to face it - they just don't want me. Of course I can't pretend it came as a totally unexpected shock. When I first came to Staines Garage all those years ago there were rumours that the Country Buses might go to Windsor and the red buses of London Transport's Central fleet take over instead. But we all laughed and said it would never happen and it hasn't has it? Well, there was a rumour only last week - remember? Not quite the same rumour that went round in the middle fifties mind you - this time it's just that Staines Garage was closing down completely - well, that can't be true - people will always want buses. Doris Hazell - 1979

This is the script that I got from Mart's page. I had a lot of trouble making it appear in a "frame" without having a border around the icons, but Philb came to the rescue with the correct html code to get rid of the automatic margin. My Idiots guide to HTML has gone missing again!! |
