    Hi jonab, I am a newbie and on cautiously finding my way around the site noticed a reference to gerards. How long did you work there and in what capacity?

      I was at Gerard's late 1974 to late 1979 when I left Nottingham and moved to the south of England.

       

      I was a product development chemist working under George Whalley.

       

      I moved to France early/mid-1980's - at about the time of Chernobyl (remember that?)

      Yes I do remember chernobyl and wonder just how much more radiation than we where told about was released.However the reason I asked the question was that I spent 50 years working in the Soap Industry including a period from from 1971 to 1984 as Soap Room Manager at Cussons.I knew George Whalley very well and counted him as a very dear friend. I was in a meeting when George walked in,sat down,looked round,stood up saying "Wrong Meeting" and made a swift exit Lovely Man! I spent the last 2 weeks of my time at Cussons, working at Gerards sorting problems.
