Pete’s dad has some words in CN eg “You can travel in the cruiser” to Mrs Woods the wife of the “lorryman” ie driver. That is what the D&Gs are doing of course! Nothing said by him or the other D&G dads in CC or BS that I recall.
And we meet Jackie but not his father in PP & PM. Though perhaps his father is one of those searching for the GA? Are they the “old man & young boy” at Watersmeet in PP, in the fire scene?
