21 year old "Winkle"Colline Pellett of Forest Hill finished his 6 year

21 year old " Winkle" Colline Pellett of Forest Hill finished his 6 year apprenticeship as a compsitor today. His workmates at Wilkinson Bros. a printing firm in Laystall Street, off the Clerkenwell Road, gave him a " passing out ceremony". At 12 o clock lunchtime, Winkle was taken in to the street with everybody in the works banging hammers on benches. He was then tied to a trolley in the gutter outside the firms front door, with everybody in the firm watching from a windows and the steps. Fire buckets were splashed over him then flour, eggs and paper streaners. Winkle was than pushed at runnings speed through the streets and Leather Lane market, to the front of Gamages store in Holborn where he was left, still tied to the trolley. After a few minute struggling, with the crowds watching, two policemen arrived and asked for an explanation. Winkle said he had just " passed out" and told them the story. The police then freed him and he had to push the firms trolley back to the works still covered in the flour, water and eggs. July 1967 P005042
