We had Liz’s boy Charlie visit down here a few years ago. Many people were puzzled by his choice of headgear during his walkabout as he was wearing reddish brown fur hat with a tail (Davy Crockett style). It was a while before one of the hosts found the courage to enquire about this unusual item. Charlie explained that not having been to Penryn before, he had asked Madge what protocol he should observe and apparently she replied "Penryn? Where the Fox Hat"

I remember years ago when I was a humble camera assistant we were filming the Baked Bean in the Palace of Holyrood in Edinburgh and her aides freaked out when they saw me, don’t know why – did’nt sport a mohawk then :lol1: – and they made me hide under a stair well so she didn’t see me 😀 🙂 🙁 😮
I feel that attacked my self esteem somewhat and has affected my adult life in a greater or lesser degree.
I find myself looking for a stairwell in times of stress.
And to think, if I’d only known George then he could of put in a quiet word and all would have been well.
I hope you’re happy Liz. 😮It’s dark in here innit.
Hang on I’ll get my coat.
