I heard that Barrie has retired to ride his bike more.
My guess is that the whole tony malarky gave Barrie an early retirement option - it must have been absolutely sickening for the family to see their firm eventually disappear in a cloud of tony's bs, but it can't have been making much money at all. So, on balance, getting a chunk of unexpected cash, and early retirement, in exchange for the firm must have been a good deal for Barrie.
I also heard that he's still doing bits and bobs (but not wanting to be to busy) alongside Ron Cooper.
