John?

Dimm aka Drivel is really an unemployed thicko who was using the name
John Burns-Curtis when he first started to infest this newsgroup. Given
that the surname Burns-Curtis is rare to nonexistent in the uk the
hyphen is probably a figment of his imagination like most of his
contentious ramblings.

I'd say he's probably retired from his job as a counter hand at a PM.
Hence the time for all those little jobs for relatives, and the time to
learn up every maker's advertising blurb.

Would account for his interest in the grassy knoll too. These things can
make an impression on a young man.
