If he was around now, and some could argue that David Cameron ticks all the boxes, he would have abandoned all his mates a long time ago, sold his country pile to the developers and buggered off to Jersey.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-67483286126470134332015-01-18T21:39:28.167+00:002015-01-18T21:39:28.167+00:00Doughnut from Double Deckers was a big old unit.Doughnut from Double Deckers was a big old unit.John Meddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547777949324509522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-79218163065447215962015-01-18T07:59:46.026+00:002015-01-18T07:59:46.026+00:00I never noticed this coat hanger kid when I read o...I never noticed this coat hanger kid when I read of Lord Snooty and his adventures. Shame on me. Yes, every gang did have a fat kid but fat kids stood out more in those days; now they are ten a penny. No offence meant, just an observation.
