[i]”An honest mans word is as good as his bond”[/i]

I must have been about 6 when I asked my father what this quote on a writing pad of his meant…

while he explained it I don’t think I really understood it until I was much older.

When I brought my 30D from a ‘man on the internet’ a few years ago, he met me in a cafe to deliver it. I had the funds on bank transfer which would only show up in his account that night… I asked if he wanted to call my bank etc to confirm.

He looked me in the eye and said, [i]by the time you reach my age you learn to spot pretty quickly who you can and cannot trust in business.[/i] And with that, despite being unable to check the funds had actually been transferred, he handed over the camera.

Tonight I had a privileged of meeting someone who fits that bill…

1 Michelin star and the winning dish on a recent TV show, yet he was happy to stop and talk for 5 minutes and pose for a photo.
