Rod Andrew (OK dinghy sailor): I was looking for a quotation running round my head, but it wouldn't come to me, but just did! The French poet/ chanteur/national treasure Georges Brassens, was quoted as saying, '..and if I'm not 'normal' it's because I don't want to be; there are enough normal people,- let them get on with understanding each other!' ...There was something of this in Bert.
