No I didn't hear that he'd passed away but then, after I went to work at Pontefract after de-regulation, I did lose touch with many Leeds xolleagues.AMBER - since the poor fellow has left us I don't suppose there's any harm in giving his full name now - I'm sure you remember John Balbac ??

BLAKEY & CHAMELEON> Should have remembered he was made Insp at the same time as me. What put me off,I didn't think he was S/I and my spelling is as bad as my memory because I thought his surname ended in K Still happy days in 60s and 70s went to pot later but I still enjoyed my life "On the Buses"

Quite a dry, but wicked sense of humour once you got to know him.
