He claims he was only trained on Horizon for a day and a half. “I’m more used to pen and pencil,” he says. “Technology is moving so fast now, and there doesn’t seem to be anybody out there with the patience to show you how to use it.” He admits, though, that he should not have signed off the books. “That’s where I made a mistake. But if I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t be opening the next morning — so unfortunately I was putting my customers before myself. I should have shut the shop and let them come and sort it.” As for his period in jail: “It was all right for me, I was locked away — but my family had to face the public.”
