Dave Bedford

I realise that the email I received today from the above would have been exactly the same as the other 40,000 or so people who are entered in the Virgin London Marathon (see earlier post) but it was still quite amusing to receive one from him two months to the day since I learned that he had been talking about me.

Well to more precise, he had to listen to someone talking about me to him! Alan, my brother in law, had sat with him at a dinner the previous evening and told him that I had run London etc etc and Alan sent me an email the next day and said: "He's very impressed by you but think you sound a bit crazy!"

Of course Dave Bedford was always very conventional!
