When Napoleon fell Louis dropped the DU in his name in fear of repercussions. My Great Aunt Lucy used to be housekeeper for Edward Heath (PM) and used to always laugh if she saw him on the television because once she threw a glass of water down the toilet not realizing his false teeth were in it and she had to fish them out of the toilet and of course never told him

It was a Jazz club and I played piano for The Collegians who also have a Brick on the wall in Matthew St. In fact Ray Mc Fall who used to run the club,bought a piano for me,as a lot of the trad bands didn't use a piano in the early days. The Swinging Blue Jeans,Rory Storm and the Hurricanes,and the Beatles filled in the interval for us. I have a programme for Jan 1960 which features us and Acker Bilk etc and lists supporting groups at the back. Those were the days!! Brenda

My husband`s 4x great grandfather lived in the same house as Claire Francis, ( not at the same time), the yachts woman who sailed around the world. My Dad played the cavern before the Beatles, and his band`s name is on the same wall from the Cavern too. What about any you? Any funny or sad, rich or poor rellies???
