Richard. He’s keen in his rugby; he played for Wales. Yeah, two months ago. He [Inaudible 00:08] for Welsh Boys Club and he played against Holland. So, he had the Welsh cap for that and the Welsh jersey. [Inaudible - It was great? 00:18] Something I never - - I played rugby myself but it’s something I never achieved. [inaudible] If his ambition is to represent the country and he did. So if [Inaudible (((] that's, you know if you like the sport, it’s a good achievement to represent your country in any sort of …

Q: Absolutely.

A: I mean that’s something he’ll have the rest of his life. He’ll have a nice [Inaudible(( ] plume in his cap and that’s something he can look back on and treasure until he’s an old man sort of thing. It’s something I wish I could have done.

Q: Yes. It’s such a tradition here, too.

A: Oh, it’s strong as bear and it’s actually - - it’s such a good character builder. He’s played rugby now for the local club since he’s eight years old, the nines, and the tens, all the way through. If you look at the friends they’ve made in that sport. Not only the children, the parents as well. They go away for weekends and have trips and - - not only that, when you get to the age he is now, which is nearly 17, and they set in the pubs and drink, you want them to know how to conduct themselves. It’s a good character builder, rugby. They take their bumps and are taught to react - - if you’ve been knocked, you know, you don’t react by acting bad, you react with cheek; take it like a man, getting up, and they teach you to conduct yourself when you go on your rugby trips. There’s generally elder people there and if you have a few drinks too many, you’re taught how to conduct yourself when you drink. None of this vandalism like you see today and ripping flowerbeds up and that sort of thing. I think rugby’s a good character builder and it teaches you to conduct yourself on a set .... And of course, any friends you make. Then there’s also in the rugby fraternity then they’ve got - - you look at the work and jobs and it’s a small town, you know. All rugby clubs are all types of people call in there. People go after them society traps and they can get you a job and this sort of thing. That’s got a lot of plusses, again.

Q: Has he left school now?

A: He’s just left school now. He left school summer August July now. I’ve got a plumbing business so he’s going to be a plumber, he is. Starting college now in September. A year’s course in college and then he sort of fit in then to the business that I’ve got. I am not a tradesman myself. I’ve done a plumbing business for ten years. ..but I don’t do the tools myself. I don’t - - I’ve got to pay somebody to do my work. Whereas of this year, if he could get a trade as a plumber, there’s a business here ready for him.

Q: Plumbing is a good business.

A: Yeah. We do the insurance side of the business. We don’t do a lot of installing. We insure people’s central heating systems and the plumbing. They pay us 75 pound a year and if they have problems then they just pick a phone up and call us and we send somebody along to sort it out. That’s the main sort of business.

Q: That’s good.

A: Well, like I said, it is a ready-made business for him if he gets into this now. He really has a goal for it. He’s very keen and so I think he should buy it.
