Watch it, pal! 20-year old moi fae a Dundee tenement (in 9th most deprived estate in Scotland), along with my girlfriend from Warfield, thought we were living the high life and enjoying utter sophistication!
German, Irish, Scotch coffees rounded off an evening very nicely thank you! I managed to fool her, too. We are still together today. She left her two horses behind for me when I was posted to Scotland.
Those stations on the railway running west from Waterloo, Egham, Staines, VW, etc. meant nothing to me then.
Later, my bro-in-law ('e's from Essex innit!) a trained chef, worked in several pubs in the district with names like those quoted, in the Binfield area, The Jolly Gardner, etc.
To me, who's grandmother worked in a jute mill from 14yo (in 1911) and danced at a young age in a dockside pub for 1/6d, (her father was a whaler), maybe I had made it? Maybe not. I consider my home here as a Stepford.
PS Johnnie Morris visited our workplace to be shown around in the 1960s. Hey, Ratty, big time!

One morning, Richard Beckinsale "Lennie Gober" 'Porridge' came in for a quick large brandy before rehearsals acting in, "I Love my Wife" at the Prince of Wales Theatre.
So sad he tragically died 2 years later aged 31.

Eddie Izzard lives a few houses down from me. Saw quite a bit of Eddie in deepest lockdown when the only people we actually met were our neighbours. Very bright and always extravagantly dressed!
