Barcelona 1988 to 23 April 2012
23 April 2012 – a day of great sadness in the Robinson household, the wholly, holey T-shirt fondly known as Compo was relegated to the recycling bin (though why so valued … totally beyond me!)
G bought Compo in 1988 to celebrate the Barcelona Olympics. Over the years it served him well ending up as a nightshirt for the past decade or so. I’ve teased him mercilessly, recorded his attachment to it in rhyme, mocked him endlessly for his devotion to the, finally, manky bit of cloth. However, one must celebrate Compo’s achievements … btw, G wouldn’t let me take a photo – rofl
