"A badge-maker from an early age"

The managing director made his first badge at the age of 12. When walking on the banks of the Harperlees Resevoir in Scotland, he discovered a dead frog. This was 1976, the hottest summer since records began and the poor reptilian beast had simply perished in the heat. Noticing how perfectly preserved the frog was, he decided to take it home, varnish it and arraldite a safety-pin to its belly. A pictorial representation of these true events is shown here
