Abstract


If George Lamb had been asked for guidance on what to include in his obituary, the response would probably have been a rolling of eyes, followed by directions to his Twitter profile. 

Community Worker with issues. Knows gibberish, went to many different places of learning some of which were quite good. Worked with many different communities. 

When people say of someone who has recently died ‘Oh, he was a force of nature’ that isn’t necessarily reassuring. What do they really mean? A modern-day Heathcliff striding across the windswept moors? An irascible old git in a flat cap, railing about everything going to hell in a handbasket and how much better the good old days were?
