I tend to agree
Indeed. As the legend goes, Warney was told he couldnt take his cigarettes, which didnt go down well. Eventually a compromise of sorts was found where Buchanan told him he could take cigarettes but for every pack he had to sacrifice something of value in his bag....
So Warne just threw out all his clothes and took his 20 decks.
I think it was Michael Clarke who said they were camping at night, and all they could hear was Warney shivering in his sleeping bag half dressed, while chain smoking the cigarettes he brought.
