Oh, Accyborn, your mention of the Con Club and the Ritz in the late 40’s early 50’s have brought back more memories for his nibs. This was the time he would have been frequenting those places and also Joe Morts.

He says that there was a shop around the top of the street where the Hippodrome was and on the way home he used to get a bowl of mushy peas and vinegar that he considered was a delicacy – but at that time of the night and after consuming more than his fair share of liquid refreshment in the previous hours I would think anything would taste like a delicacy.

By the way, we won’t even talk about underage drinking…..
