Going Up The Ace was a song about past glories. But a year ago the Ace Cafe London reopened after being closed in 1969.

Things have changed, maybe it should have remained a memory? They now let SCOOTERS in!!!!!!

Back in its heyday (60's) I actually went & parked my dads scooter on the forecourt, as my bike was temporarily off road. Nothing happened to it. It was too old fashioned to be worth the bother, I guess.
