Each One Of Those Logos Earms Me £25,000

Naivete
I am naive, often. Or at best, trusting in people.
Sir Jimmy Savile
I did a TV show with him once and for reasons I still can’t fathom he asked me to join him on a charity run. I was 24. He was doing 12 miles a day for a whole month, all round the country. I did Wembley to Ruslip with him as I remember. It was just the two of us, and running, you talk a lot. He had 3 topics: fame, money and women.
Here Are Some Snippets:
JS: “Tell me young man, what car do you drive?”
TB: “ A mini.”
JS: “That’s a good pulling car the mini, I had a mini and it really pulled the birds. My Rolls Royce, would you believe, is rubbish for pulling.”
Another:
JS: Do you know how much I get paid for Savile’s Travels? (His Radio One Show). I get £6.50 per show. I charge the BBC the union minimum, so the accountants can’t get me sacked for being expensive. Keeps my name in lights you see.”
TB: “How do you make your money then?”
JS: “Well take today. We’re running along for charity and my assistants are going round with collecting tins. They might rake in a couple of hundred quid. But look at my shorts. They’re covered in company logos, and the local press are filming and photographing my every move. Each one of those logos earns me £25,000. That’s mine.”
Another:
JS: “Where do you live?”
TB: “A flat in Richmond. Where do you live?”
JS: “I have a flat in London, and in Manchester. A house in Scunthorpe, another in Blackpool. Thirteen houses in all, including a house in Tokyo with a new Toyota in the garage I’ve never seen.”
TB: “How come?”
JS: “Never get paid in cash. Ask for a house or a car. The taxman can’t work out what’s a quarter of a car.”
Then...(I’m sorry this is creepy knowing what we are now told).
JS: “When I go out on the pull. I write my telephone number on lots of little bits of paper. If I see a lady I like I slip her one of the pieces of paper. I’ve got two phones in my flat, so if one rings the next day, I know it’s a lady worth meeting. I leave it for a few days, sometimes ladies are shy. Then I block the phone number, get a new number and off I go again.”
Warning
After we finished the run one of his assistants was chatting to me, suddenly she said, out of the blue “Don’t get anywhere near Jimmy okay? He has no friends, just “associates”. There are things you don’t need to know. And I can’t tell you anymore, because he knows how to take revenge.” And she looked at me with eyes I can’t forget.
Most people in the media suspected. It’s truly astonishing he behaved the way he did, apparently harming so many lives, all the while in the nation’s spotlight. In our hearts. And no-one got it out there.

Always thought Tommy Boyd was a decent bloke myself.....his radio shows are often 'fun poking' at over serious do gooders, but also erudite and searching enough to do the same to people he has interviewed who need questions asking.......in general, he seems to me to be an OK bloke.
I've never met Tommy Boyd, no, in the same way I never met JS, but how many of you have met JK either? The cyber world is as warped as TV and Radio land in terms of who knows who.....
PS no smoke without fire.....? OK, but you can see a magician program on telly about how they do 'magic'.....it is smoke and mirrors......so if we can't have the 'truth (fire) without a smoke trace' then we can have 'truth obscured by a magic illusion' .....deception, misdirection call it what you will, but what you see, isn't always what you get.
