Congratulations to our former employee, Phil Craven, on his recent knighthood. Phil was well know to customers and staff alike for his cheery Bolton greeting of "How Do" given to all and sundry. He will now be known to us as Sir How Do! We hope his fellow members of the IOC understand at least one word in ten!
