Julian Rhind-Tutt, the blond actor from those Barclay Card adverts, discusses Ducatis, the incorrect way to exit Druids corner and playing Mr Monks with a broken thumb...
the day before. ‘If you do crash tuck your limbs in, it stops them breaking.’ I remember smiling to myself, tucking my arms in and going on that never-ending journey across the gravel. Unfortunatly, as it turns out, what I forgot to do was let go
