Daven Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The earl used to fill his sports car with petrol at the Barrack Hill Garage in Hillsborough. One day I was with my Father in Law filling one of the Wedding Cars with petrol alongside the Earl and his sports car. He was drunk as a pig and bragging off to the petrol attendant aboiut his motoring offences. He produced his red driving licence book to show him and it was thick with motoring offence stickers. I was disgusted with him and wondered why he was allowed to hold a licence with so many driving offences. In those days we firmly believed there was 1 law for the poor and another law for the rich. Little good did do, turning a blind eye to his drunken antics which resulted in a death. Happy Days! PopT I had the misfortune of meeting him once - he was a 'dirty' man in every sense of the word.
