David Abbott. 5 things I've heard.

1. David worked on the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles pitch with me at DHM.He refused to accept a penny.2. Johnny ? walked into a new young team at AMV with a big pile of Comet briefs, asking Tom and Walter if they could take one or two off his hands.David took 8.3. To celebrate an AMV or David anniversary, Richard Forster and John Horton produced a spoof D&AD Annual where they swapped the letters in the D & A D logo for D A V I D.It was divided up into the usual sections with only work David had written.Richard said it was nearly as thick as the 70's D&AD annuals.4. Once when I was in the AMV studio a production guy can in and said to one of the Mac ops that David was coming in today.David, who was thirty years their senior, there was palpable excitement.

I still talk about ‘floating on the bouillabaisse of life” and expect people to know what I’m on about. Lovely stuff as ever – thanks Dave!
