My dad got offered a job by alan sugar to be the head electrical engineer and turned him down, this was many years ago for a company called Javlein Electronics (transistor radios). He was also making those flamer kits for cars and bikes in the 70's wish he patented it.
And my grand parents lived on the same street as charley chaplain and used to watch him practice his funny walk. Kensington Gardens I think it was in oval. Now David blunkett lives there as my dad went to take some photo's of his old house and a armed response turned up lol.
