Subject: RE: Help wanted with lyrics please
I have a vague recollection - but a more vivid one of a kebab shop just on the junction near the station which I think I went in late quite often :)

Chalcot Square - described as one of the loveliest little squares in London I believe. I seem to remember that Cliff Makins had a flat or something there where he could keep his alcohol levels topped up when he wasn't in the Queens. No wonder he used to wear a huge duffel coat because the place was freezing.

Had a couple of very happy years in Chalk Farm and it was the only time I've ever been a toy boy LOL. Nostalgia interlude over, normal service now resumed.

(Funny thing this memory lark I've just remembered I must take my books back to Swiss Cottage library they must be rather overdue now.)
