Veteran Swansea Bay journalist with job tip-off

There was a time when Paul Chambert was one of the Swansea Bay Establishment's most feared hacks.
He was a reporter and editor of great dynamism, skill and energy. When chasing a tale of wrong-doing or shame he was like an angry Scot chasing an Australian Open title.
His Swansea Herald of Wales was a supremely punchy and pugnacious tabloid that delivered great training and wonderful exclusives.
He retired a good few years back but still feeds tip-offs to the South Wales Evening Post newsdesk. "Chambert," as he's known Morrissey style, still enjoys coffee with distinguished former colleagues and derives great pleasure out of his Swansea City season ticket.
Today he called with a kind thought. "Have you seen the Post today ... page 44? There a press office job going in Carmarthen for the fire brigade!"
He wondered if I knew anybody around Swansea who might be interested. Well, I do ... but I'm not naming names.
If they get the job it'll be Chambert they have to thank, not me.
