I missed seeing that in the paper. After all these years I can't read The Owl and the Pussycat without hearing his voice. And "Whistle my love" from the Robin Hood film.

Here are the two threads from earlier this year. Is Elton Hayes still about and Elton Hayes revisited

Lived on the Herts Essex border till 1995. That's my patch. Anyone got any idea where exactly?

I think I'll try and sing the Owl and the Pussycat this weekend some time in The Crown in Buntingford.
