You've got some of those programmes, haven't you s? Centre page spreads of Joe Hulme at home with his wife, that sort of thing.

You can see the Toilet Bowl from Alexandra Palace now. :-|

Is that from the windswept area with the telescopes outside the skating rink?

Little-known fact about Alex James is that he went on to become the world's oldest Scotchman, dying at the grand old age of 51.

Yes, I think we must have gone around the sun slower in those days.
Or faster.
I forget which.

Yeah. Possibly even from the eastern end of the south face. Visited Bruce Castle that day - worth a look actually. Even had a pint in the well-dodgy Spurs boozer over the road. #incognito
Also saw turtles in the pond at Lordship Rec by the 'Farm. Turtles in Tottenham! Never seen them anywhere else in London.
