knew the family years ago, in fact l shared a business with his dad and brother at one time, not a mate as such but we where/are in the same circle of friends, enough for it to be talked about amongst us. No more no less.Putting it mildly.
I noticed he died a couple of years ago. I didn't know him that well, but I knew enough to be polite and a bit wary.
He came into my workshop one day, circa 2002, he wanted a new wheel cover for his 4x4 all jazzed up with the name of his catering firm on it, I said it's a piece piss, I had special vinyl that I used on curtain-sideders, he asked me how much, it was about 60 quid, he gave me to dosh and a bit extra, Geoff had to go to Hinckley for summat and came back later. My gaffer came in a bit later too, now my gaffer was supposed to be mates with Geoff but said to me that I'd way undercharged him which was bollocks, he was having Geoff over. When he came back he went fucking crazy grabbed hold of my gaffer and gave him a straightener. On his way out he gave me a tenner and told me to leave as the gaffer was wrong un.Putting it mildly.

Just a normal day, then.
I remember what the wheelcover said: 'G B CATERING OF LEICESTER - Outdoor Event Specialists - IT'S NOT ALL BULLOCKS'Just a normal day, then.
That giving you a tenner doesn't surprise me. Why would anyone try ripping him off? Not a good idea.
Bril! An incredible character without a doubt.I remember what the wheelcover said: 'G B CATERING OF LEICESTER - Outdoor Event Specialists - IT'S NOT ALL BULLOCKS'
