Rab. What a character.
Used to 'phone Andy Everett for a chat from the 'phone box outside his house!
Andy said, Rab's [Glaswigian?] accent was so strong, very often Andy would just intersperse the conversation with random "yes/no", not knowing exactly what Rab had said!
I can remember a crazy late night in a beer tent at a rally; late 70's. The bar people had gone home. Someone had re-connected the beer barrel and Rab' was playing [tunes?] on his bagpipes.
Who needs hard drugs?
