I worked in the Windsor Castle, Camden Hill Rd, W8. As a summer job in 1985. I remember Michael, he was looked on as a mascot for the pub. Various people would put their heads in the door and enquire "is Michael in?" If not they would go on to the next of his regular haunts.

There was, in the Sherry Bar, a framed one dollar bill, with the words "Michael B Mansion went to America, and returned with only this dollar bill"

He was very kind friendly to this homesick young Irishman.
