tatsblisters 9,673 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Remember reading in his books that he hardly slept and an old mate telling me when him and Barney from Mexborough once called at his house when he lived at Rotherham and knocked on his door to no avail and looked through the window to see him fast asleep in the chair and he could not be woken.lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 I grew up like most lads hungry for information on the only thing i cared about ,the outdoor life ,and Plummer the only writer about that I remember with a knowledge of mixed fieldsports ,seemed to be the man to follow . I've read most if not all his scribbles and still got many of them here now . It wasn't until I subscribed to EDRD that I had any inkling of the man he really was and it left a bad taste for sure . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of digs at any 'working' dog man in articles. Looking back, he put himself on a pedestal & a fragile one at that. I met him once & found him very defensive. I think he realised & in a way rectified it. He wouldnt of liked the internet thats for sure 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaurs 2,044 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Read most of his books when i was lot younger & tbf i enjoyed most of what i read at the time. He saw an opportunity to make a few quid & took it. He wrote when there was very little written about hunting/ lurchers etc. Soon realised it had to be taken with a pinch of salt. Don’t think for one minute I could of toletated his company though. Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
