I once ‘met’ the man some 30 years ago.
My brother and I were beaters on a Pheasant shoot at a local manor house, Mr Drake emptied his shotgun at us as we were flushing up the birds, the shot missed us by a hairs breath:eek:
Needless to say we were not too enamoured by him after that:)

Just the little Man’s sense of humour
