Why Souter is important
"I think everybody who works here, including myself regard it as their lighthouse"
I think everybody who works here, including myself regard it as their lighthouse. And I, it’s like an old friend, it is like an old friend, really, because I know the ins and outs, I look after it, you know. I mean, it pays my mortgage and I look after that, you know.
