Indeed he is,

Got some gas and coal from him at Cropredy in summer. A really great person to deal with!!

I am not sure that even Dusty can make me acknowledge the existence of that facist rag.

I guess few of us were aware just how good a job Dusty does; 20,000 tonnes per winter is a lot of coal. It's an average of over 65 tonnes per boat, for the 300 served.

 

Still, it must be true, I read it in....
