This is one heap-big wind-up!
no sorry its not.those local to him.like myself,ian,gav etc have known for a while,he was sentences on friday for 3 years.
i only spoke to him on the sunday prior to last friday and he confirmed he felt he would get jailed.
Can i add that help was offered in the form of myself and others to manage his work till he returned,ian was approached to run it full time for him but declined but was prepared to take on a chunk of work but richy as decided to do something else and i wish him luck
