The Country Girl. I love the smell of snakebite in the morning! You had to start the evening at the Lazy Fox for maximum synapse-zapping capacity...finishing up with stir-fried bin-scrapings at the Hoi Kwan.

Crimped hair used to make some people smell like a chip pan full of over-used burnt oil - guess that's why they bought vat-loads of patchouli oil.

"Richard Shops are filled with all the pretty things,
Such a lot of pretty things to wear,
Hey there pretty things, make the world a prettier place
Come prettier, come buy your clothes at Richards Shops"

I saw the Thomson Twins too when they were an 11-piece and got people up on stage to play with them.

One of my best gigs ever.

Why are our geriatric heads filled with this stuff. Why can I remember that, and not where I have put my house keys from hour to hour...

Body shop vanilla too. It stank.

I wore Rimmel Heather Shimmer lipstick on my wedding day in 1992.
I think I wore one called Baby Shrimp throughout the 80s.
