Anyone listening to Steve Allen on LBC this morning will have heard him talking about scammers and scammer-baiters, and how one unnamed individual fooled a scammer for over a year into believing money was just-about to be sent. Both OFSOs said "must have been Cape... "

Re: Capetonian.
Mrs Capetonian came for a long lunch today. A time of reminiscences, laughter and not a few tears. She said it's as if Mike is away on one of his journies, which I feel, he is. One we all must take sooner or later.
She sends her regards and thanks to everyone here for the condolences which were posted.

A day to raise our glasses (even non alcoholic) to Mike, a very special guy, who sailed off into the sunset a year ago today. Cheers Mike.

Re: Capetonian.
