In my youth , in my first job working for the MoD in mid 60`s , met Ian Gillan who lived in Bicester ,and joined Episode Six who performed at Christmas party at work , some members including Ian became Deep Purple .
I also had the pleasure of through work again , she worked in the office side but once a week we attended a a day release education course in Oxford , but became chatty with her ,and that was Pam Ayres prior to her joining the WRAF as it was , she also turned up at work when on leave in WRAF uniform , some years later I wrote to her wen she did local radio in Oxford , as i was asked a her to do a poem for a bar we had when working in Oman , she replied and said in reply " I think I know you"
