Once in Britain, however, he became increasingly homesick, and installed a phone in his on-site accommodation, charging the bill to the contractor.
Clark panicked when the site management discovered the size of the bill he had accumulated and tried to flee to St Lucia by booking a flight at a local travel agent.
The escape plan was foiled by the contractor's administrators, who had retained his passport under as part of an international work permit scheme organised by the British government.
