Was Roger Daltrey born in the Plastic Spoon Cafe in Hammersmith?
My mum had a chip shop.
Geoff: Now he's in the Ivy every night!
Kaz: That explains why you're so good with computers then.
Mmmmm... chips.
At risk of causing offence, I feel that you may have been over generous when you implied that Yarmouth was "less salubrious".
Especially when compared with Lowestoft.
I read your post out to the Sage. He grunted.
Blue plaque richly deserved. So glad your birth had no connection with the planet beyond Neptune.
Dave: They sell good ones in Great Yarmouth.
Sir B: Point taken. I didn't say just "How" less!
Z: Is that bad? I feel deeply honoured.
Christopher: I do occasionally disappear up it, but not as far as Cameron Mackintosh. I went to his office once off the Tottenham Court Rd and he'd put up his own plaque "Cameron Mackintosh Thrived here 1992- ".
It was probably a hidden chortle. Honoured is an appropriate response.
