This is the story of two men Ian Thomas and John Wikinson. They are now in their late forties, John being 50 and Ian being 49. In childhood they grew up together, sharing the same group of friends and the same enemies. In class they sat one behind the other, that was how they met with Ian flicking ink all over John’s back by accident whilst trying to replenish his nib from the inkwell during a French lesson. From that moment on they were friends and nothing was going to get in the way of that friendship.
