Just stumbled upon this after reading the Underboss thread, I had no idea!
Frank,we had some fascinating discussions over the years, you certainly had “The Knowledge” which used to help me out in London back in the day.
He reached out to me a good while back, unsolicited, offering any help with regards to traveling around London in a large hgv, he knew where to go, where was safe to park, where wasn’t, would even drop a line warning of an issue even if I was at the other end of the country (!) and some fabulous yarns most of which were so fantastic, they probably were indeed true (the truth is always stranger than fiction).
From a trucker to a cabbie, safe travels.
R.I.P.
