Brixton Bert ?? I knew him from drinking at my local pub (one of them). Great stories of riding his Ariel Leader around the dark wet streets of South London and burning off his mates riding their Triumphs and BSAs. We played together just once ~ he didn't like melodeons nor their players much.. I remember he played an impromptu song set including Frankie & Johnny and throwing himself down on the floor at the end of the song, everybody thought he'd had a heart attack ! He would get his racing tricycle out every Christmas Day and cycle 3 miles uphill to our local pub. Forever a great raconteur with tankard in hand. Twas great in the knowing...
