Subject: RE: Ballad of Glencoe
25 years ago, as a young broker in Lloyd's my gaffer a Breese from the Highlands ( Related to the MacDonalds ) was involved in some heavey and conveluted negotiations about a claim. I went along as bag and file carrier.

Unusaually for Lloyd's in those day the particular syndicate claims manager went back on his word.

As we walked out in quiet fury my boss sed in all serousness " What the Hell can you expect from a man named McDonald !"
