Rod ‘Washy’ Stone & Graham ‘Sleepy’ Mutrie.
Pictured: Rod Stone (Ten Pound Pom, devoted Monarchist, Compositor and very funny man) and Graham Mutrie (Compositor, excellent Intertype Operator, anti-monarchist and mad Eagles footy supporter).
No-one I know calls Graham by his real name. To everyone he is just ‘Sleepy’.
Here they are at the 2010 Old Guv Reunion held at the Buckingham Arms.

John McInerney and Ramon Evans.
Both Compositors from the 1950s-1960s.
Mac terrorised me in my first year at the Old Guv.
He broke my precious type gauge by running it through the cogs on one of the huge proofing presses they had in the Comp Room.
Ramon on the other had some style and intelligence and was a patient fellow!
He got promoted….
