Peter Poland?

[Duffer]

Much as I like YM I also subscribe to ST. Since John Goode suddenly resigned and Duncan Kent took over I notice Peter Poland hasn't contributed for the last couple of months. As one of their best columnists I hope he hasn't stepped down too. Anyone know? While wishing the new editor well I hope Peter's absence is temporary.

I agree -very interesting articles

I know Duncan a bit and he's a good bloke too. I'm sure he'll get stuff from PP again if he's still willing. I would say I thought there was a bit too much of PP in the last few issues he wrote for.

I used to work in an insurance broker's office named Wigham Poland. I notice his bio says he used to run an insurance company. I've often wondered whether he used to be my boss ? Great articles. Wish he wrote more.

Wasn;t Peter Poland the man behind Hunter Boats?

PP was a co-owner of Hunter, but earlier in his career he worked in insurance, so he might have been Bobgosling's boss.

Peter is good mates with many of the staff on ST so I doubt he will have been dumped.

He´s a nice chap as well. And everyone gets on with Duncan so I guess he´s just taking a break.

Thanks for that - I guess we'll have to wait and see!
