? Marsden taught English I think and played cricket for Enfield, ? Slater an English teacher and dramatics who had me play Christy in the Devil's Disciple at the Town Hall.
The socail life in those days - the Melbo, Joe Mort's, Knowlemere street, The Con Club, the Ritz - and for the younger ones (my generation), The Australian and Cattle Market pubs.
I hope I can establsh contact with some of my old contempories, I still have some great memories of those days. Of course that was all before i met my Anne - then it all (almost all) stopped.

I didn't start till 57, but I know what you are talking about ... except "'Boris Wignall'" .... Is that Sam Wignall?
