Ah! the flea-pit brings back some great memories, the Ritz, Balham, the Hole-in-the-Wall, Clapham. Saturday morning pictures with your mates, watching old re-runs of Rin-Tin-Tin and ancient episodes of Flash Gordon, it was great to have at least 3 birthdays before you were caught out, to enjoy the experience of Happy Birthday being shouted by a hundred kids, Fun, Happy Days.
Bern, I too remember the Cartoon cinemas in Piccadilly Circus and Victoria station.
