Determined to counter the popular belief that working offshore in the oil industry was the modern equivalent of being sold into slavery, Brian has gathered together a number of personal anecdotes which may help to redress the balance.
Everything you read actually happened and despite being told by various experts that working in such conditions for long periods was detrimental to one's health, he saw no evidence of shingles, hallucinations, nervous rashes or uncontrolled twitching (except possibly when thinking about Sophia Loren).
What there was in abundance during those early years would now be considered as misplaced excitement, but we didn't know that at the time. It is worth remembering that working offshore wasn't compulsory and you could leave if you wanted to. Funnily enough, as you read this epic tale of bravery and self-sacrifice, you can perhaps see why we didn't.
