George Short

I don't know if there are any other examples like that [George Short], but there should be. It was George and some of the other old-timey dinosaurs who taught me how to do a proper lunch at 85 Fleet Street - stroll to the pub, down as many pints as you could in an hour, grab a sandwich and eat it at your desk while subbing all the sober hacks' copy.

George was the best teacher ever! ■
