Cliff, I hate to big up your bad-boy status, but if you were cautioned in a UK police station you must have been either arrested or summonsed for something first…

… and also I thought that the sax player on “Baker Street” was Raphael Ravenscroft.

I am starting to feel like the little boy in “The Emperor’s New Clothes”.

Wasn’t the sax player Bob Holness; he of “Can I have a pee please Bob?” fame?

Ohh I need to know more about your foresty experience! My father’s always watching ‘bushcraft’ (not the x-rated version!) and nodding wisely and saying ‘one day’!
Should I be worried?
What happened? Where were you? What was it like? Were you alone? Did you forage for berries? Did you have big ants to deal with? Were there leeches dropping from the trees? Did you make a fire with two sticks? Did you sleep with one elbow down and your head off the floor to stop ‘things’ crawling into your ears? Please tell us!

I should probably explain.
