A shameless bump!

On the Crossroads theme, I was always told I had “a nice face, dear” and often that I looked “like Jane off Crossroads”! Jane was the waitress. I’m sure she was a lovely person, but it’s not what you want to hear as a teenager!

Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath had one of my cats kittens. Don't think Ozzy Osborne ate it.......?

My aunty (the same one as in the op) sold a cat to Sir Roy Strong.
As I'm the arty farty one in the family she took me to his house to meet him.
He was just as lovely as you would expect.
