Ah, Barry Took -- the man who explained to 8-year-old me about god being imaginary.. Thanks Baz - that answer a lot of questions! On the other hand, his mother started me on cigarettes, slipping Du Maurier to me behind my mother's back.

BarryTook, Johnnie Mortimer, Brian Cooke and Donald Webster plus KH himself....what a team of writers. BTW I used to smoke Du Mauriers back when....the pack was less likely to get crushed in tight close. Funny, I still wear tight clothes  |

I wonder how 'Sanforizing' was applied - same as for 'Mercerising' (whatever that was)? I think I remember that my RAF collars were 'Trubenised'... You don't hear of any of those now, do you?
But we were 'appy...

I put several of those on the mp3 player I set up for my daughter some years ago, with which she entertained her school friends on coach trips and broadened their education.

I remember how, when I was at the Empire Leicester Square, and our girl singer gad a radio in her car (oh yes!) our drummer, the excellent Graham Jarvis and I would meet her where she had parked, and we'd listen, through the open window, to RTH... I've no idea why we didn't get into the car, but anyway it was fun to listen to it together, in a grotty Soho street...
