This is unbelievable news for two reasons,
firstly John Eacott has the franchise on it even before our fabled ABC over here and we all know that even the pollies here read the ABC to find out what is happening,
but also to see the actual event of Franks retirement taking place that we all thought would never happen.
I have to say all the very best for Frank, and whilst his machinery has now and then given me a few frights, and is perhaps not the most comfortable to drive around, It has made me a lot of money, it is functional, and practical if not pragmatic of opinion when pushed. perhaps that's an indicator of the inventor, like dogs are of their masters and vise versa.
Over here we use the word Bastard as a term of endearment or abuse, just depending on our mood. I would say Frank you old bastard, come over here and fly with us in your retirement, we'd be delighted to extend our hospitality to you.
cheers tet
