This is one of the pictures drawn by Jim Needle who was the Oxford Mail’s cartoonist, which used to hang in the Carpenter’s Arms in Jericho.

Jackie Favarin who kindly submitted this image writes: ‘This is one of the pictures drawn by Jim Needle who was the Oxford Mail’s cartoonist, which used to hang in the Carpenter’s Arms in Jericho. I can remember at least the first names of most of those caricatured:

In the tank: Kevin; Shane the pub Labrador; Graham; Dave Hawkins (moustache); Lyn (blonde); Kate; Bill Hynes (green/white); Sean; Gerry; ??; Tommy (glasses + a pint)
Next row: Allan McLaughlin; Bernard (ex bus driver); Dennis Price (Welsh); Neil Cranham (Kenneth Cranham’s brother); Doug Low
Back row: Aly (Scottish); Bill Mooney (Northern Ireland); Barbara Siret (Landlady); Ken Siret (Landlord)

I was then working in the Tutorial Office – Jackie Brentnall.’
