Peter Finlay was an out and out Walter Mittey !!!!!!!! I knew Finlay from 1978-1979 & then after in 1981 when I returned to Mexico to visit. He was always a boorish, stuck up, no-class, pompous Australian, who had it not been for the fact that his Great Grandfather stole a loaf of bread in England, he would never have been Australian!
Convicts & Conmen the whole Ruddy lot!!!
I’ve read PDC Pierre’s “Prize-winning novel” & it is a load of Shite!!!!!
I hope Stephane Lacore & Tony Harrup are reading this ‘cos I’m sure they would agree.
Meanwhile, I remain,
