“In my memory Malcolm’s most singular claim to fame came during an English lesson in 2A.
Jock Sutton obviously thought that the country’s total preoccupation with the coronation had gone too far and urged us to write a poem celebrating the conquest of Everest. Malcolm stood up to read his piece:
Everest
Only two men have reached the summit.
Hilary and Tensing dunnit.”
