I’ve just seen Richard Branson, airline pilot and founder of the Branson Pickles empire, waiting to pick up a take-away from The Bamboo Caravan. He told me he was getting spring rolls, a number 36, a 42 plus a 89 with boiled rice and was so hungry he could eat a horse. Mr Branson was very chatty and not at all like a millionaire pickle magnate, he even left his Sun newspaper for me to read (though he’d torn out Page 3 girl Samantha from Bolton). What a top bloke. Thanks Gilbert
