I was a good mate of Bernard's - used to drive him to the venues sometimes. He was only on form after a few drinks but it got to be too much. I've seen him in a pretty bad state 'mornings after' and he did die from liver disease I believe. By the way his surname was PERKIN - without an 'S'.

He used to tell the tale of his court martial for punching an officer - they marched him in & said 'Are you Bernard Perkins' - he said 'No Sir'. They had to march him out, re-do the charge sheet & try him another day. He got sent to Colchester army nick. Told me they used to drink the alcohol that separates out on top of a tin of Brasso.
