As I've said before, I don't think John had a 'miserable time'. He was quite jolly most of the time. I didn't commune with him much but he was an easy going presence on the tour.
I'm sure he loved being next to Paul Franklin. Surprised I was the only other he picked out. Maybe appreciation with hindsight?

Sheer Heaven. John nailed it. That's exactly the right name for the wonderful collaboration between Paul and Mark.
It really doesn't get any better!
