I don't see that from your posts. Don't put yourself down mate.

I remember a mate trying to deal with a stuck Campag seat post. "Frame is going to be resprayed, I'll use some heat". What he didn't say was that by 'heat' he meant a Mapp Gas blow torch. The seat post melted and pieces still had to be reamed out,

I just don't like confrontation and I am no good at fighting so tend to back down when I maybe shouldn't...

Nor do I mate. I did karate for a bit, my partner "Bob you can move!" Whack! Me "Ugh".

No need- I'm giving it back to him wouldn't even attempt that removal....& the rest of the bike was in a bit of a state as well ( rusty cables/misaligned brake blocks/very dirty rear cassette...)
It would look as ugly as can be, but do we really not think that with a blow torch and a lot of working, that could be reverse prised back into original form, albeit baggy and use able?
As to the mapp torch comment earlier, my Dad did that a long time ago for a stuck seatpost, if you keep an eye on it it can work, but it ruins the paint so you might as well use caustic soda as that is foolproof
