I just thought that we ought raise our pint glasses and let Mr Miller know we are truly grateful for all the work he has done for this group over the 24 years..
...wait a minute 24 years??? No wonder he looks grey and old...
anyway...
Without him our days would not be spent attached to the end of a phone as it rings forever or is permently engaged while we clutch desperately at a handful of oily bits that landed on the car behind us as we tried to engage a gear that never worked and probably didn't even exist at *gosh* miles per hour. Nor would we be having counselling for the nightmares we have suffered after he showed us *that* picture involving the triumph herald and... !!!
But whatever you think of the chap he's always been around in the background doing an immense amount of work that no one ever sees as well as all of the front you are privallaged to observe (if you wanted to).
Whatever made him decide to do this we must be thankful for, and while it is quite possible it was insanity we're not going to let that stop us from having a good beer as a toast....
THANK YOU MR MILLER! ! ! Long may you wander the ranks of Vivas parking the cars for those who can't be bothered into proud lines of wonderful cars, and reminding us just how great life can be.
And of course... GOOD LUCK to any one brave enough to try and follow in his foot steps (even though he does take tiny strides and his left foot sticks out a little) and apply for a role in the committee.
