The Sky lads said they would pick up the drinks tab, not realising Chas had been in there all afternoon. So the guy who went to pay got a bit of a shock!

Hi all Swapped a few messages with him this morning. He's in good spirits - he was eating a chicken sandwich in the high intensity unit which he described as "living the dream". He wasn't up to a call at that stage but I hope to speak with him tomorrow. Thanks again for all the support. G
