I thought the way he handled it was pure class. No attempt to blag it. He just held up his hand and laughed along with the rest of them. Top man.
That's a great point. He's obviously a humble & friendly bloke. I only met him once, in Route 66 it was (mid-90's), I just ambled over to him to shake his hand etc, & you would've thought I was the first person ever to do it by the way he reacted - he was really appreciative & had a big beaming smile on. He was probably as pissed as I was. My Dad has also spent the day working with him (a coca-cola sponsorship thing), and he couldn't speak highly enough of him.
