THE BRITISH THREAD II

@izzythepush,

I don't think so, since I've always been shy, quite and low-keyed.

What I didn't know, however, is that I've been recorded then as well:

A shy low key person wouldn't have been picked up by the mikes, but by your own admission, you were.

@izzythepush,

So I have to rephrase it: I could be on that record if I had been among the screaming crowd. Wink

So it's not you yelling, 'I'm just mad about saffron,' during one of the lulls.

To allay the suspicion that all Brit men are besotted by pretty girls with long suntanned legs, Madison Avenue syndrome, I prefer plain, no nonsense Lancashire lasses and I'm not bothered about being helped on to trams. And especially by people who go out of their way to perform the miracle.

Mrs Contrex is from the Swinley district of Wigan and is very nice looking along with being a no-nonsense type.

Yeah, but I can listen to it without thinking that I need to run the hoover over the carpet.

@Walter Hinteler,

I've another connection too. My then boyfriend had a roommate who was a friend of them then, not quite sure the year. One of those inbetween years. Maybe early '67, or later '66. He would have been just back from overseas. We had a date. People still did that. At this point I forget where we were going, presumably dinner. I dressed up. I wore my camelhair coat dress, nylons and heels. We stopped by the apartment those guys were at, and I was the freak in the room. I met whoever, they weren't all from the group.

I liked him but it wasn't love, and vice versa, though we both had thought so before, in the beginning. Parted friends re our differences. (smiles)

As I said before izzy--you're a difficult man to have a conversation with.

It wouldn't be so much fun if I wasn't. Did you know that Madison Avenue was in New York, not Amsterdam?

@spendius,

I was only cutting to the chase, in my cutting, and trying to point out that I was not painting a Madison Avenue picture.

Instead, a picture of a lissom girl pedalling a heavy bike, one hand on the handlebar, the other demurely trying to control her skirts.

@izzythepush,

Madison Avenue is in Timbuktoo izzy. It's everywhere. It's a prime source of sickness. They are now finding 5 year old girls with anorexia.

Girls are girls. They don't need to be "pretty". That's misogyny. Healthy girls are what we need. Reader's Wives. Sod models.
