DEAN ,the big Albion looks a bit of a brute .
Posh area Jakey, after I left wagons, did quite a bit of college contracting, Nuffield College had two staff houses there, one on Lakeside and one on the main road(service road) the head chef and the steward. When retiring, part of their retirement package was the deeds (ownership), they both sold up and bought bungalows, one moved to Begbroke and the other to Kidlington, nice people and firm friends.
