Bob & I worked together on Line 4 at BUA/BCAL for many years, we were known as Bob 1 & Bob 2! We socialised a lot as well, a few beers in the wooden hut followed by Chinese meals in Horley. I used to go to Jersey with him to spend the weekend at his Mum & Dads place. I also recall a weekend trip to Ibiza for a few beers, which is where I found out that they didn’t mix very well with Gin & Tonics, sorry about the mess Bob! Condolences to Ann and the family, R.I.P Bob, my old friend
