He had been in this position of power for decades and had a very strong personality with far more gravitas than the feeble brained J. Saville.<br /><br />We all knew why he would randomly appear in the changing rooms after PE; we all knew about the 'underwear inspections' that he would carry out during away trips from school and we all knew why certain favorites were called to his study more than others.<br /><br />Did it bother us? Frankly, no it didn't, it was just one more of school-lifes tribulations, vaguely amusing when visited upon others but best avoided.<br /><br />If we all knew then presumably the staff did too. As I recall some mother eventually complained and The Bender was allowed to move on to the twilight of his career.bannedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406037760273820029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-75556753330894780252012-10-11T22:27:18.861+01:002012-10-11T22:27:18.861+01:00Muslim grooming scandal went very quiet, didn'...Muslim grooming scandal went very quiet, didn't it?

He reported these concerns to his manager who, despite regular praise for the wuality of his work (telecommunications), resulted in termination of employment for not meeting the standards of the BBC. Not only was he unemployed but he found that he had been more or less blacklisted and the only job he could get was working in a back street TV repair shop. Perhaps someone had a word with the owner as he was sacked after 3 months! When I last saw him he was a (very depressed) traffic warden making plans to emigrate. Unfortunately we lost touch after that but together with all the horrific stories emanating from Television Centre, kids were not the only victims. Perhaps that's why no-one in the business came forward. The loss of job, home and marriage, or threat thereof, can concentrate the mind somewhat.<br />PenseivatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
