Good grief .. people here who know Caversham? We lived in Ilkley Road, Caversham, when I was a tot - my first primary school was Caversham Road. There was an old lady at the end of the road who kept cats, and her house was always full of the scent of boiled fish. And then there was an American family a few houses down who had a daughter about my age called Karen - my Mum took ages trying to persuade me to say her name in an English way rather than with an American accent!

And we had memorable picnics at Peppard Common.
