It only seems like yesterday that he was my trainee at RP Martins. Since then, he has retired from the market at least twice, but now I hear that Richard Gardner-Brown, known to all as Turdy (genuine nickname earnt in a long story from a less PC-world), is poised to make a comeback at Tullett Prebon. No word from the company on which desk, but my guess would on forward EURs. And they used to say broking was a young man’s game.
