Loved Pat,’she knows you know’Pat Coombes ended up here, a care home for theatricals. I have never heard of this one, I have only heard of Brinsworth. This one has an illustrious rollcall of formal residents if you read the wiki.

Ah, for the 'pre-woke' days in which people didn't read subtext into everything gender based and the 'jokes' were on the men as much as the women.I still watch the Carry On films whenever I can. I just find them so relaxing and laugh out loud at all the jokes again and again. One of my favourites is Carry on Cabby with Hattie Jaques and Sid James. She plays the downtrodden wife who starts her own rival cab company. Early Feminism at work in the 60s
Yes, it must be hard to be any type of performer these days, particularly those who improvise. You would be second guessing yourselves all the time.

She was so beautiful.
Yes but she was having an affair with a car dealer called John Schofield whilst she was married to him.
Didn’t he move in with her and husband John at one time?
Very odd pairing. He seemed like a really stuffy posh sort. The mind boggles
This article is hilarious:I have an autobiography to read about Rex Harrison. Apparently he was a bastard. Nobody liked him.
I liked the Stanley Holloway quote on this - I thought Noel C was supposed to have said it rather than SH.

He wasn't stuffy. He was very easygoing, smoked jazz cigarettes, disappeared for days clubbing and was a big fan of Earth Wind and Fire!Very odd pairing. He seemed like a really stuffy posh sort. The mind boggles
I haven't even finished reading it and I completely agree. He sounds AWFUL but it's so funny hearing people lose it with him.This article is hilarious:
