I didn't say "laugh". What I said was "smile", meaning the cynical smile
of politics and bureaucracies.
I can recall John telling me how he received so much criticism and
opposition from govt depts about his methods, they even tried to close him
down a number of times.
His methods were/are a threat to their tried and failed antiquated
approaches to conservation.
But he proved them all wrong and, like all good phoenixes, will rise again.
Truly a tragedy that he received so little support . A triumph of blind
bureaucracy over common sense and experience. ----- yet again !
Tony.
