    Decimalisation in the UK was 15.2.1971. I remember it well as I was an National Insurance inspector at that time and had to work out the NI stamp arrears pre that date and convert to decimal to add to arrears due after that date, and there were no calculators then! How would they manage nowadays?! Oh, and Steven, how could you not know Freddie (Parrot Face) Davies- you’re not that young and he is still around?!

    Johnny hart was a conjurer/ magician who specialised in producing Budgies with sleight of hand from his attire, also on one of the shows I noticed was Peter Goodright who was a popular impressionist of the time, and the Kaye sisters three girls who used to sing in harmony.

    This is what my Auntie Susan said about The Queens Theatre........If you google it, it was Queen’s then Feldman’s then renamed Queen’s again; it was somewhere in the area where the Houndshill Shopping Centre is now. I thought it was on Coronation St, Uncle David thinks it was nearer to Central Drive at the back of the old central station. Online it puts it as being on Bank Hey St which is at the back of the Tower, but lots of roads were altered when the station was demolished and also when the shopping centre was built such as Adelaide St, which still goes down to the prom but now seems to have a chunk missing out of it where the one way system goes through!

Secondly, undoubtedly you will make highly entertaining, and informative videos about all of these items. I can't see any benefit in Chris having them at all.
