Remembering Georgie Watts
How sad to hear of the passing of
Georgie Watts, the fishmonger in
St James's Street, Brighton.
It was wonderful to see him every
Remembrance Sunday proudly
wearing his medals for the
perilous duties he undertook at
sea in the Second World War. His
commitment to the business was
always on display - cleaning down
the last inch of his shop even if it
took until 11pm.
Combined with these qualities
was a wicked sense of humour.
Queuing for fish one day - there
was never a rush - I overheard
some banter between him and his
wife, Gladys, which still makes
me laugh to this day - although
you could never print it.
Maybe it's too early to say this,
but amid heartfelt condolences
to Michael and the rest of the
family, I really hope the shop will
carry on and keep Georgie's
memory alive for many years to come.

Upper Rock Gardens,
