I'm just back off holiday and find that Derek "Blaster" Bates has passed on. (See Obituary)..

I have often played his motorcycle-related comedy tape casettes, especially the one about the "The Naming of Knicker Brook"..

I never met him but have his tapes and will now again play them to his memory.
