    Our office was next door, literally. It was in the days of luncheon vouchers so I sometimes, not always, spent them in the foodhall there.

    Haha Luncheon Vouchers we're definitely showing our age. 15p a day when I first started getting them

    That made me laugh, that must make me really ancient, 2/6 or half a crown when I first had them

    Ah ... ... those were the days, my friend. Do you remember when it was possible to buy a 3-course Chinese meal + coffee for 4/-?

    I spent a year refurbishing a house in Beaufort Gardens in 1971/2 and there was a nice pub just around the corner in Brompton Road, I think it was the Plumbers arms or Builders arms, something like that, but a really nice pub.
    Celebrated the birth of my daughter there.
    Harrods was on the next corner.

    I think it was Hans Crescent we were in. It was in 1975. When all the bombs were going off across London.

    I lived in Cranley Gardens, South Ken in 1970, and then Gloucester Road/junction with Cromwell Rd in 1971.

    I remember it was 5p between close stations on the underground, and if you knew where to get off, you could go all the way from S.Ken to Hendon for 5p and then hitch up the M1 or A1 home to Yorkshire for nowt.

    Otherwise it would have been £3 single for the train to York.
