Gentlemen, I give you ...

That has to be enough. Bloody hell, this guy had Duracell batteries before they were invented. I steer him towards work. He spent almost his entire adult career working for Mason Owen and looking for lease and freehold properties for Iceland and other clients. He has long lasting friendships with Malcolm and most of the others and is without doubt the definitive property guru I mentioned at the start. JP has retired now and still does the main sports that I mentioned before. Did I forget to mention that he used to scuba-dive and once speared sharks for sport. Hold on - has he made all this up and he was actually head librarian at Bebington Library? By the way, his dog Archie deserves a chapter of his own. So, that interview was exhausting, but hugely rewarding and it turns out that JP has missed loads out. He was the President of the Artists Club in 1993. I am sorry that I missed that year as I think I joined in 1995. Nowadays he does a lot for the Wirral Hospice of St Johns at Clatterbridge. Lastly, hats off to Julia, for chasing this Jack Russell of a man around the globe patiently for all those mad years. I bet you have some tales to tell as well. I bet you once said “I am sure Its left here Johnny2 and you gave in and turned right only to end up in the wrong part of the world.
