He need only drive past and look for the residence with the old pram parts scattered about outside.

An event I seem to remember watching on the telly with my old dear for some unknown reason.

I remember that too. I was at school and our maths teacher fancied himself as a bit of a nautical man so had set up a TV in the class to watch it. I expected to see some great galleon emerging from the deep but it was painstakingly slow and it barely moved through the 1 hour the maths lesson lasted.

A big massive hulking brute sitting on top of a flimsy steel frame.

"Clapton is hardly an outlier. David Bowie expresses admiration for fascism, while Rod Stewart’s remark that “immigrants should be sent home” later earns him a place in a regular feature of Temporary Hoarding known as “Pus Bag Corner”

Not sure Rod was ever in The Small Faces. Is the rest of the diary talking pish, too?

Technically he was but they released stuff under the name Quiet Melon. Then changed their name to The Faces.

Probably.
