Wolford6 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Telegraph and Argus, today: It was on a previous visit to the Alhambra, with the musical Prisoner Cell Block H, that he slipped out to buy cigarettes and returned having bought a flat in the shadow of Salt's Mill. "It was just the best thing I ever did. I'm up here now more than I'm in London. It's great. It suits me." "People look at you like you're mad when you mention Bradford," he says. "I was at a do recently and Bob Monkhouse mentioned that he had a place in Jamaica. So I said, 'I've got a place in Bradford'. Bit of a conversation stopper, that. But it's a great place, Bradford. So's Leeds. It's just a pity that he let himself down so badly at the end of the interview. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
