Can anybody shed any light on who the above two gentlemen were. In my youth I used to be told slightly preposterious stories about one or other of them. Allegedly they were not the sharpest pencils in the box.

This was a typical one:

Cammie Shaw turned up late for work one day at the pit, so his supervisor gave him a bollocking. Well he said, "I've just got this new pair of boots and the backs were connected by this bit of string so I have had to come here taking just tiny steps"

Another day he was late again and he got another bollocking. He said "Comming over the field I couldn't light my pipe because of the wind in me face. I had to turn round to get it going and forgot to turn back and went home.

And there are others.....

Did Dare Orme really stand for the council calling for overhead sewers?
