So, I'm driving to South Devon with a builder friend of mine and we get talking about Michael. We'd just driven past the new Exeter Football Stadium and I was telling him my story above, of when the children and I saw Michael in Exeter. Suddenly he says...

"Yeah, my kids have met some of the Jackson 5. They came to visit their school in Plymouth a few months back."

?

My mouth dropped open, just a fraction...

"Didn't you know The Jacksons love Devon? They come here a lot. I think they've got a place down here somewhere."

????

And my mouth hit the floor.....LOL

The Jackson 5 in Devon

Well, who'd a thought it, eh?

So maybe Michael didn't fly in from the USA that time, he merely popped over from Appledore in North Devon.   :0)

And..taken from the Times on Line link, above:

"The village itself may offer limited diversion. In this pretty historical fishing village, where the Taw and Torridge rivers meet, life centres on the quay, which hosts crabbing contests and Morris Dancing. There is also an ice-cream shop."

There you go, The Jackson 5 possibly watched Morris Dancing in their local Devon village!

Come on, hands up...WHO said that Michael Jackson had no place on Mudcat, no right to be up here in the music section? Shame on you! ;0)
