"1949 was only 70 years ago) your spelling leaves much to be desired"
Game set and match if we're down to my poor maths and typos I think
Let's move on
Of course Ewan was flawed - people who aren't are spooky
This of us who knew him decided that his strengths were fast stronger than his weaknesses so we worked around them - and we were repaid in spades
Ewan came from a poor background in teh Depression in a Town Engels used to describe the poor conditions of England's working people
He educated himself while he was unemployed after being discovered busking outside a Manchester Cinema, became a leading light in English contemporary theatre; Shaw described him "Apart from myself this young man is the most exciting figure in today's theatre"
He rose to the top in experimental theatre and helped for Theatre Workshop with Joan Littlewood
When they moved to London he decided that wasn't for him - instead of going for fame, he devoted the rest of his life to popularising what he believed to be 'The Workers Voice'
Anybody who makes that sort of contribution would have to eat babies for breakfast before I rejected their contribution to my life and knowledge

Lot more to say about this
More tomorrow, as my mam used to say
