Well, no - that's what got me. And I could turn lights on and off without making a fuss about it. I did have a more or less carefree attitude to the minutiae of the school uniform, but surely that's a good thing.

He was a good bloke, Roy Kinnear was; I like the way everyone seems surprised by the camera except him. Anyway, born today in 1947:  Needs no caption, I hope. |
