Lesser Mortals – Dippy Dave

I often saw Dippy Dave loping about the estate and occasionally engaged him in polite conversation. I have no idea what his real name was by it must have been Dave something……. This feller was about 6’ 5” tall and very skinny with a long neck and a head the shape of a large kidney bean cut in half along the lesser axis – so that the front was kind of flat – don’t know if I am making sense. At one time he had a CB radio and his handle was believe it or not “Italian Stallion” – he certainly did not look or sound Italian to me though or look like a stallion – in fact the only thing stallion-like about him was the way he neighed instead of laughing.
