Hi

Having seen Pam on TV today, I was remined of an event that occured on East Croydon Railway Station about ten years ago

I had put my case down on a seat that was placed back to back with another seat, hard to describe but each seat was facing a different platform.

As my train came in, I turned and bent down to get my case. At the same time exactly a lady on the other seat turned and stared to pick up her case. Both our heads were bowed as we bent down.

As I lfted my head up I saw the most striking coat imaginable opposite me, It was bright red , with military style black fastennings across. As I lifted my head further and stood up so did the owner of the coat, she appeared over 6 foot tall, and was as striking as you could imagine. Our faces were about two foot from each other, and she smiled at me.

I turned around and caught my train.

A couple of days later I was watching the Wimbedon broadcast, the presener Pam Schriber came on wearing the same coat. I realised then who I had briefly met on East Croyden station.

Impressive.

Now if it had been Pam Shriver or Maria Schrarabova...that would've been a story!

If you really want me to bore you I can tell you about when I had a pint with Bobby moore and didn't know it.

Did you notice whether you had any jewellery missing?

Who's Pam Schriber?

Is she not the Director of Nursing, at the San Rafael clinic.

Well the story goes like this

I think it was in 1968 - West Ham had been playing at Blackburn. Blackburn had a very nice night club call the Carleton, I sometimes popped in there for a pint afterwork. The bar was deserted because Bob Monkhouse was on and most people had gone to watch him. I was having my pint, when a friendly blonde guy started chatting to me,( no not like that, before you start). He asked if it was a good club, and was there much going on. I just chatted on about this and that. I realised he was some sort of cockney or Essex type, but I didn't think much about it. After a while a few more guys came in very loud and in your face types ( The West ham united team ) , I still didn't twig, about my drinking partner, untill I saw a look of pain cross his face. I thought after he was glad of a bit of piece and quiet, which was now gone, after , this unruly mob came in, with most of the waitresses , I might add. Not for me this sort of carry on, so I said my farewells to Mr Moore and left to play the tables before I went home. I must mention he was a very friendly nice bloke, quiiet spoken, and glad not to be reconised.

The little chap in the middle was the fullback Charles, funnily enough he was the one I reconised, I said "are you footballers"?, he replied in a very rude way, I shall not repeat.

I thought women wore Jewellery - certainly not me. A crappy old watch maybe. I know there was some acusation in Mexico about Mooore, but I don't think there was any foundation in the story.
