He used to take his poor BG (who obviously had to be carrying) on a run every day!In the 90's I had occasion to attend a function at the Licensed Victuallers Hall in London, sitting miles away from the 'Top Table'.
After the 'cigars', I was sitting chatting to another lowly functionary when, there was a tap on the shoulder and, there stood General Sir Michael Rose (Retd),being pursued by the President of the LV Assoc. He then grabbed a loose chair and we had a good 10 minutes chinwag, much to the disappointment of some luminaries attending, lovely man and,a soldiers soldier !
