I loved working with you Les back in the Scrum1 /One Distraction days, you were always a calming influence no matter what chaos was going on around you. Take care of yourself and enjoy retirement.

Hi Les
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you.  Other than all things CHIPS, you inspire me to stay Calm when things don't work well. Thanks very much for being very patient with me and answering the zillion questions I threw at you. You will be missed. Enjoy your retirement.

It has been a blast Sir, since I interviewed you back in........um.....you have been amazing. Much like losing one of the crew of Red Dwarf you will leave a large hole, but I'm hoping you are coming back in a future series. I would love to work with you again. Have a fabulous retirement. If you are bored or just fancy picking up litter with us in Barry sometime let us know and Im sure it can be arranged. Over and out - Simon Rowe

Congratulations - you are finally free!  You've more than earned it (many times over) - thanks for all the great help and wisdom you've given over the years.  You'll be missed hugely 😢 I hope you have a great time sailing around the Broads or whatever you choose to do now, and that the night terrors about the CHIPS E2E overnight builds will fade within a few months...

Have lots of fun - Jake

I have the extra pleasure of working with you both here and BT. In both places you were excellent at getting things done without seeking the Limelight.
I hope that you enjoy a "meeting free" retirement
