Well, it was a long time ago.. It was one of those stories that turned up in the pub one evening, so suspect was "embellished" a little (ahhh ok - 'a lot') . Could have been in the KHS, the KB4 or the KA HC. (I just looked at the KA HC website - good grief they've tidyed up it's all posh won;t go there).
Oh well, it will just sit in the back of the memory banks to pop up at random intervals to annoy me.
BTW the 'gold brick' is a true story*
*for a given value of "true"
