And to think he comes from just down the road from where I'm sat now, Shard End. It's a far cry from a mansion in L.A. Cheers, AJ Haha, know what you mean about the sunglasses and American thing.

The Skeleton -the skellington!- and the Roundabout remain one of my faves (although there's Lemon Tree and I love that, too). Never could work out why Lynne took to wearing those bloody sunglasses post-1978. Anyway, this post brought back some very happy memories for me. Hey there,
