Quotes

(Mark Parkinson)

"Banger" Grimble was my brother-in-law and above my computer hangs a painting of the "Lizzie" and "Annie" tied up at the wharf in South End. It was painted in the early 40s or late 30s. I also have many of Banger's oil paintings in the house, mostly painted on his visits to us in Blairgowrie, Scotland where we lived prior to coming to Canada.

(Edwin Killick)

Banger Grimble and his rolled up piece of corrugated cardboard with which he would aim a blow on the head of any boy not getting on with his work of art, saying "The arm of the law is long but with this it is even longer boy!" I recall some of us being paid to sit for Banger`s night school classes.

Richard Broughton also remembers "Banger" Grimble using a cardboard tube as a weapon to keep the attention of pupils in his art lessons. It was either brought down sharply on the desk, or on the back of the offender's the head.
