When Graham Hinchey was out canvassing for a council election around 10 years ago, a woman answered the door and said: "Mr Hinchey, my husband wants to see you." Inside the house, the woman's husband greeted him by saying: "You don't remember me, Hinchey, do you?"
Thinking he was in trouble for something, the Heath councillor admitted he didn't remember the man - but was soon reminded: "I'm Mr Dyer, your old history teacher."
Mr Dyer had played a part in Councillor Hinchey's life decades prior, when the now-Lord Mayor of Cardiff was head boy of Glan Ely High School. When James Callaghan, soon to be the Prime Minister, was awarded Freedom of the City of Cardiff, local schoolchildren were invited to City Hall to watch the ceremony.
