 ....and what else, dazzlenation?...well, this is kind of crazy but not....in short, toddy's desk was to ask me about a certain photo - taken in the late 60s...regarding an all saints school competition - as to who could build the biggest snowman - at lunch-time break on the heath....and well, ruthie stredwick and myself, had made the biggest one by simply having chosen the deepest snow - not near to anybody else's tracks - of rolling a snowball until it became so big etc etc...to then see it destroyed by richard poole/kent (aka webb, later on)....in short, he had come up to us, in a rage and then jumped up and down upon it...kicked it into almost nothing......i can remember ruthie with tears in her eyes....whilst i simply watched that malevolent little boy, who just wanted to destroy competition, in order to win....whilst thinking that it didn't matter...so what?...we had won.....he knew it...and yet, when i think back to it, now.....well, hardly a good model for the entire world to operate upon, eh?...i.e. webb-on-D.O.S. etc etc...go figure:
