Rest in peace, dear Mike I have many happy memories of my times with him in Cornwall. I remember Mike turning up for dinner with me and my friend Janet in Port Isaac in a Cornish kilt. Most of the staff at the Slipway in Port Isaac had never seen the like, but the manager recognised a true Cornishman. If I recall correctly, he had a free drink on the house as a result. He was also the only person I know whose cards I needed to translate, a) because they were in Cornish, and b) because of his writing...... only remember Mike being 'out of Cornwall' twice - once for an unexpected visit to us in Northamptonshire, but the first time was when I took him to Wembley Stadium in 1986 to see Queen + Status Quo. Great times. Benatugana, Mike, from Nick B.
