@HondaMexico Ayudame. Llevo 3 semanas llamando al servicio de atención al cliente de Honda. Nunca contestan. Mi madre está enferma y necesito urgentemente un documento para que mi CR-V y yo podamos quedarnos con ella. ¿Cómo puedo hablar con una persona de verdad? #hondalover

George was always a delight to work with, in London and on the road. Kind, supportive and empathetic AND talented - a rare combo. My thoughts are with his family and friends. Rest in Peace.

My 8 - year- old son told me nobody will be interested in your book about a fat, Scottish policeman - and he may well have a point. Now, I love my boy so much I dedicated the book to him. But I would also like to prove him wrong! The book is out TODAY.
