He might have said thank you when they rescued him, just because the media and probably the chief army manager kinda guy (

) wasnt there to hear it doesnt mean he didnt say thank you?
but then again if i was being rescued the first thing id do is want to get home and then say thank you in a big public ceremony. Not everyone is perfect english gentry when theyve been held hostage?
(just my view please dont jump down my neck

)
