Talk to me, Andy Mabbett
- If you post a message on this page, I'll reply on this page to avoid fragmenting the discussion.
- If I've left you a message on your talk page, I will be watching it, so please reply there rather than here (but do feel free to drop a copy of {{Talkback}} here).
- If appropriate, I will move discussion from here to the relevant article's talk page, so that anyone interested can join in.
- If you want to start a new discussion thread, please start it at the bottom of the page. Better still, use the "new section" tab next to the "edit this page" tab, or the link at the foot of this section, either of which will do that automatically.
- Please do not make links from within section headings.
- Inaccessible HTML (coloured text, "small" tags, etc.) will be removed from this page on sight. Broken heading or list structures will be fixed.
- Please sign and date your entries by inserting four tildes (~~~~) at the end.
August thanks

Hey Andy, hope you're ok. I decided to write something in your neck of the woods! I feel it lacks something but most of my books only cover it in passing. Can you dig up anything better? Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:47, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- @HJ Mitchell: Nice one - I would have assumed that an article on such a significant subject already existed. The best works are the three volumes (of four planned - sadly the final one never materialised) by Richard D. Foster. I'll see what else I can dig up.

Hi Andy. I read somewhere that you had recently been in contact with Doug. If both of you are in touch again please give him my warmest regards. I only met him a few times but I know that if I still lived in the Birmingham area, he and I would have been great friends. Thanks. Chris, (Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:57, 4 September 2022 (UTC))
