Unbelievable! No, ‘Mickey’ – it’ been more than a few years. More, even than 43 – I reckon about 45 or 46 years!

I am absolutely thrilled to hear from you. You would not believe how often your name comes up in my family. Gillian (do you remember her? We celebrate our 40th anniversary this year) will often mimic one of your phrases or gestures (“Length, hat pulled well down…”), or recall one of your escapades (the night the London Airport Bowl became the London Airport Owl). You gave me many chuckles as a kid, and continue to do so well into my later years – thanks for that!

I will email so we can reconnect and perhaps reminisce about our misspent youth and things better not discussed on the Internet!

Hello Vaughan
It’s been a few years (maybe 43!!) I discovered your web blog and enjoyed the general comments; especially the continuing musical interest (remember the days when we used to tune into TOTP with Jimmy Saville on our car radios) .
I felt I had to refute the notion both that I couldn’t write because I went to a coucil school and the other that we do not have any electricity here in Cornwall (where I retired after working for the Ministry of Defence in Plymouth).
Anyway Warm Regards from an old friend and all the best.
‘Mickey’ Bakewell

Hi Vaugh,
Your blog has information and practical wisdom presented in a very lucid manner.

“IT as a Service” and “IT for Business Value” are the new mantras in the industry with all the ITIL and ITSM hype going on. You have been professing it for more than a decade, I guess!

With best wishes,

i.Learn
