My eldest son had the dubious pleasure of playing darts there last night and guess who came in after the game against Leicester? He described him simply as a tramp lol. There was also a poor impersonation of it there as well. Bell and bugle were also in attendance.

me too, sort of.

 

Anyway, I walked past the house where someone very famous used to live today.

 

They are dead, had he been alive and drinking in one of the many pubs around here from which he had been barred repeatedly for outrageously gayish behaviour, most people over 30 would recognise him, not just his appearance but his unique voice and and manner.

 

Clue 1 - he was male

 

Clue 2 - he was gay

 

Clue 3 - he had a drink problem

Peter Glaze?

 

Nope, good answer though as PG is up there as one of the least funny people ever.

 

more clues:

other jobs he did were; cabinboy , a coal-miner, waiter, and pageboy, a drummer boy in the Army where he was the flyweight boxing champion.

 

He is a cult hero in Albania.

 

NB

It was not woolies that he worked for, just a local greengrocer, and he was just 13 yo at the time!

I am clearly rubbish at this, well done Alejam.

 

Last one for now:

 

He stayed in Deal occasionally and we have all enjoyed the thing that this man is famous for (VERY famous for).
