I think Lennox's mum still lives in the mock Georgian houses at Crook Log. I don't remember Lennox working in the chippy in Pickford Lane though and I moved in before it was a chippy. I always used to get my fish and chips from Batchelors green grocers next to the post office. They used to fry on a Friday and Saturday.

Malcolm Allison used to live in Nursery Road near where the Russian spy woman lived.
 I think Ecclestone lived there too.

Roger Moore lived in Danson Road with Dorothy Squires. I think Steve Davies bought the house at one time but didn't live there. It's the blue on on the left as you drive down to the A2.

Kate Bush benefit concert for the Wings? Or Appeal Song?

Wow Wow the Pughster the Pughster the pughstyayay

Or Running up that slope?

Or maybe A duet with Andy Ford "Dont Give Up"

Sounds intriguing

If she does get involved that would be unbelieveable and fantastic.

Think me and Ben have a mutual friend of Sharkey...

Don't forget Mr J Bullard Esq. Used to go to Erith School before getting lucky, er, I mean finding fame on the pitch...

So who's going to tap the spy up??

I think i may be right in thinking. Jimmy Bullard's dad is the landlord of the One Bell in Crayford.

He may even still have a home in Bexleyheath and a member of a Bexleyheath fishing club. IF anyone Knows Of This to be true. then maybe as an idea What about an Evening where he is a speaker.

I know he is at the other end of the country But Its an Idea that could work.

Unless There is Someone else to get for AN EVENING WITH.....?

Evening with Jimmy would be ace, and isn't he still out injured at the minute so can probably spare the time?

Worth a shout anyway.

You'll need to dig her up before you can tap her up.

She moved away before she died a few years ago.
