Vernon Egerton
Staffordshire hill farmer
The speaker has a small farm on the hills above Leek, where he lives with his wife and family of three sons and one daughter. He started in farming as a boy, and though for him the road has been a hard one, he firmly believes in the virtue of life on the land and in the value to the community of the small independent farmer.
He tells the story of his daily life, and of his feelings about it, to Phil Drabble.

Acknowledgment is made to the book ' The Great Pearl Robbery ' by Christmas Humphreys
In July 1913 a necklace containing sixty-one pearls-insured for £ 150,000—was sent by registered post from Paris to London. When the parcel was opened in Hatton Garden it was found to contain eleven lumps of sugar. Scotland Yard began an immediate investigation and, after a series of fantastic coincidences seldom paralleled in fiction, sixty of the pearls were recovered. Nothing has since been heard of the missing pearl. The thieves were caught and stood their trial at the Old Bailey. How they contrived to steal the necklace remains a mystery.
