Well it hit the Manchester press last night:
Riddle of charity cash plea - News - Manchester Evening News
and guess who was there telling everyone it was all a big mistake? Yes, good old Brian Matthews..........the brother! Nothing from Adrian of course, he's gone deep and silent (like he usually does I'm told)
PPruners will remember good old Brian from the Sky Marshall fiasco (my first post on this subject) I do find it bizarre that an opthalmic (sp?) specialist would get involved in such dodgy dealings. I know blood is thicker than water, but you just wouldn't expect a professional person to put his career at risk with such matters.
Sleepy Hole, welcome to this forum. I'm sure your comments about getting in touch with the hospitals will be taken up by someone, maybe I'll do it on monday. Maybe, if the rumours about the CAA are correct, they will put out a statement to all of the childrens hospitals involved in this that they should not be allowing their patients to fly with him.
I see that we can now add arson to the list of activities for Matthews. I wonder what excuse brother Brian will come up for that? Maybe he torched the wrong chip shop?? or maybe he just accidently dropped the match into the can of petrol he happened to be carrying at the time by accident.
There is a lot more of this guys history to come out yet I fear!
