Funnily enough I emailed him tonight and mentioned you. It's been ages since we've been in contact in fact. Reclusive bugger, he is, and not easy to keep in contact with, but I've known him all my adult life, so I try to make the effort. Probably my most longstanding friend I'm still in touch with, in fact. Knew him from when we both lived in Plymouth. That was a very long time ago.
