You’re right there about being honest. The times I spoke to Jack, he didn’t mince his words,he would tell it like it was. I never treated him any differently to any other customers, but he never really wanted to chat to me as I wasn’t interested in football or fishing. My late uncle fished with him once, as in they were sat next to each other on the same lake.
