He was certainly a great character in and around loddon, often refered to as WINGY due to his one arm.He did indeed keep greyhounds, and race them, as did my father, his son. There was a slaughter house at the cockatrice, my grandmother was one of the few women to hold a slaughterers licence.patricia bettsnoreply@blogger.com
