Memories of Norman Green I was sorry to hear of the death of my friend and former colleague Norman Green. I used to represent HM Revenue & Customs, formerly Inland Revenue, at payroll conferences from the late 1980s through to 1995, when I took early retirement. I met Norman through your conferences and through his work with the British Computer Society. In my role as group leader of the Employer Group on PAYE Operational Policy I valued highly the chance to work with Norman. His constructive criticism worked even-handedly with support if he felt that the departmental representative was in danger of getting an unreasonably rough time! Norman and I shared a friendship and personal interest in interesting cars, and it is on that account that I particularly recall the BPMA’s autumn conference of 1994, held at my beloved National Motorcycle Museum. I had addressed the conference during the afternoon and sat down with him over a cup of tea. He knew of my plan to buy a Morgan Plus 8, knew that I had not actually ever driven a V8 car, and insisted that he and I take a little trip in his Reliant Scimitar, before each setting off for home. I didn’t need to be asked twice! I bought my Morgan 22 years ago, still own her, and often think of that afternoon when setting off round Worcestershire lanes. I am sad to realise that last year’s exchange of Christmas cards was to be the end of a chapter. I shall think of you, Norman, when our postman begins this year’s deliveries. My kind regards go to any who may vaguely remember me from those halcyon days.
