Always seemed to be scurrilous rumours about the sexuality of Val Singleton and Lesley Judd, personally I only had eyes for Jenny Hanley on t'other side.

As kids we took the p*ss out of hard men Simon Groom and Peter Duncan, who intimated through gritted teeth, how much they'd love to get their hands on the brats who did it. In reality West London urchins would've made mincemeat out of them.
