I read Pattie's book too, felt so sorry for her, she longed for children and couldn't have them, and both George and Eric C cheated on her.

I was also jealous of the girl in Help who Paul used as a guitar while they sang on the beach. He could have used meeee as a guitar! In fact I was jealous of all those girls frolicking with them on the beach. What innocent days.

Fancy choosing Eric over George! confused

Patti Boyd also had George's Something written about her before Eric Clapton's Layla, then the two of them went to war with each other with their guitars, allegedly! Eric won but didn't do Patti a lot of good, lead her a dog's life. Read her biography a few years ago.

I’ve always been a bit jealous of Patti Boyd.
Imagine knowing that you had inspired a song as phenomenal as Layla.
As passionate as that song is, though, I’ve since read that Clapton is something of a bore and a wet lettuce.

As a ternager, I never liked Eleanor Bron because she was in that film with The Beatles. It should have been ME.

It was Patti Boyd I was jealous of. She somehow had a part in Hard Day's Night as a schoolgirl and sat on the train with them while they sang songs. I could have done that just as well! I was a schoolgirl with long hair, so why couldn't they have given that part to me? ?

Apropos of nothing at all, I had a holiday job as a cinema usherette in the 1960s and saw Help at least 12 times in a week. And Mary Poppins 20+ Times. ?

Well I didn’t know that!
Tamsin Greig used to be in The Archers too, and Jasper Carrot’s daughter

Eleanor Bron plays Carol Tregorran in The Archers but hasn’t uttered a word for years. ?

Eleanor Bron reads lots of audiobooks these days.
My dad has a crush on her in the 60s.
Can you find out what the newsreader’s name is infoman?

I got my niece to get me the DVD of Help for Christmas. It reminds me of when I was young and went to see it about 4 times in one week. I must watch it again. I was in love with George but had a soft spot for Ringo.

Sorry the film I am referring is Help.

If your up before 06:00am on Monday morning the News reader always reminds of Elanor Bron from said above film.
Does any one else think so?
