We sat next to a Scouser who has lived in Munich for 33 years and got married to a German lass on Wednesday, and he told us his best mate and business colleague for the last 25 years died suddenly last week aged 57.

Apparently he was as fit as a fiddle, he had a Covid booster a fortnight ago and simply failed to wake up. The Munich coroner is "investigating" the cause of sudden death. Me and my new Scouse mate both knew why he had died but the new bride was having none of it.
