Spoke to said tickle this am about his heroics (or lack of it!!). He didn't even see the rescue as was loitering in a cab mid-way to the location.
Upon celebrating back at the Hotel on job well done, the Oz Times rang and asked to speak to the Yachtsman but he had gone to bed. With his great media experience from Orchard FM - "Ironman Steve Brown", he volunteered and gave them a rather lubricated version of events. He says he was miss quoted??
So there u go. Mum is very pleased as he's finally a hero and has saved the Telegraph clip for the grandchildren. Another gong to add to the others earn't sitting on a ship..
Hope you'll all be lining the streets next Sunday while he's sitting on a beach
Keep on bus driving xx :D
oh and he says he's missing everyone - he was just getting on it at a bbq!¬!
