No, but he did a book signing in Heswall today which had a pretty good Q & A session including questions from the floor.

Good guy, interesting life outside of competition too...

If he did a tour and came a bit closer, I'd be interested. I doubt I'd have anything itelligent to ask him though.

Since he's based in West Kirby on the Wirral, I believe the Heswall talk was due to local connections. They limited it to 50 or so people.

I had a reason to go though.....

I worked at Lotus Engineering between 1991 & 1995. Mike Burrows was a familiar sight for a while around the composites room.

The night Chris won the gold medal, I was invited to watch it live in the boardroom whilst a camera crew from News at Ten filmed us reacting to his victory. We made that night's bulletin!

So to go full circle, I thought it appropriate to buy a ticket!
