Syd The Kid

Syd is Kim's father - which seems somewhat confusing when he clearly considers himself still to be a teenager with a tendency for hucking dangerous cornices and attacking a racecourse like a junior racer. Only when one discovers that his presence in Murray Camp was actually intended by his family as a means of keeping Syd out of trouble (a scheme known as "Dave Murray Day Care") does this situation become clearer: it would appear that Syd's problematic behaviour has been a cause for concern in the McKnight household for some time. Having said this however, you still have to question the judgement of a family which decides upon Murray Camp as a safe place to send an aging relative with suspect mental faculties...
