Laughing at some of his exploits has much of the same effect!
He always got frumpy when I reminded him in public of that day.....as the dust seemed to be getting to him when he thought I was just going to ride off on down to Warri with that receipt in my grubby mitt.....leaving him in the warm embraces of the customs police or which ever bunch were viewing him as a down payment on their retirement fund.
Over the years he became much more adroit in handling such situations on his own!
He has a good heart.....and once you understand his ways....he is good fun!
The old Bristow tended to attract characters....and some have lingered on despite all the changes in management.
