    The ball and chain has just reminded me that we met Phil Collins in a club in Gravesend way back in the mid 70's when he was starting out.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Life is too short to blend in.

    Hi,
    1961 when on Orsova me and a couple of mates had a good chat with Rolf Harris when in Vancouver.

    He was very natural,and had a pretty good knowledge of London and the night spots there.

    What about April Ashley,
    I shared a hut, B3, for a couple of months, at the Vindicatrix Sea School, Sharpness Glos. with George Jamieson, a Liverpool lad.the son of a Liverpool seafaring man, he was in catering. He later had a sex change, one of the very first to have one in Tangier?. to become a Transexual, He/she became a celeb. owning Restaurants and appearing on many chat shows on TV and in films and then married the son of a Lord and really became a Lady. she then got divorced and I think she now lives on the West coast of the States. She is the same age as me, so he is 76.
    Cheers
    Brian

    hi! Captain
    Note you were Vindi Catering shariing the same Hut as <later to become April Ashley.Imagine ,that was a bt of a culture shocK at that time ?
    The advent of the Change Op. received heaps of publicity at the time.
    The inevitable jokes and remarks folllowed. Such as (subject to deletion)
    "went from knackers to knickers or he made a c --of himself"

    Hi Evan
    I wasnt Vindi Catering I was on Deck , but when three of us arrived late on joining day the hut for Deck lads was full so the three of us were put into the Catering hut. There were one or two of them suspect.
    Cheers
    Brian.
