Inventor of the Workmate, the tool that's almost as useful as an anglegrinder. Also designer of the Lotus Élan so that's two attempts that he'shad to kill DIY enthusiasts.We should demonstrate our affection for the deceased by using a Workmate asa ladder, attempting to change a lightbulb and then spending all night incasualty. It's what he would have wanted.

Never been to Kabul. Wouldn't go if asked. So, yes.
