Maurice makes this up to a full-time income with work in a supermarket and butchers the occasional venison carcass for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Farm.

He was relieved to be able to give up his failing butcher's shop in Felpersham to work for Tom.

Maurice was a bitter man and it wasn't until Ed interceded for his father that he agreed to give evidence.
