PEARSON, GUY (1964 - ) Former brother in law of Hamilton Coe, Dullard, Cheat, Heir to Pearson's Garden Centre Empire. It's always been my experience that people of limited imagination tend to be dogmatic in their opinions. The universal arrogance of the narrow-minded makes scant allowance for possibilities beyond the realm of logic, dismissing them with epithets like ‘charlatan', ‘lunatic' and ‘chancer'. More often than not, the so-called voice of reason has a limited vocabulary and is overly reliant on the word ‘no'. From experience, I can testify that the naysayer's faith in the natural order is shaken when the elderly ‘bellboy' at the hotel in which he's been conducting his affair suddenly steps from the wardrobe, straightens up, removes his beard and reveals himself to be the object of his scepticism. In Pearson's case, this agent of revelation was none other than Hamilton Coe!

Presented with a dossier of his transgressions, Pearson moved to Falkirk, where his father had recently taken over an existing garden centre, and assumed a managerial role. Guy's father, incidentally, once offered me a position shifting bags of mulct, a deliberate insult I believe he has come to regret.
