Mungo Jerry! Brings to mind driving to Southend-on-Sea on my friend
Nollocks' TR3A, trips to the King's Road in my 1948 Morris Minor, pints of
Double Diamond at the "Wharf Hotel" for 1/11d (that would be a little under
5 np for those youngsters among you), and the lovely ANGELA.....
Thanks for bringing a gleam to a fifty-year old's eyes, John!
