P.s. I wonder if it has anything to do with your personal email Spam settings,
Patsy?

Whew, that’s a relief.
We were running out of options.
Hopefully you can open the link and download the .pdf of the programme to keep
or read at leisure Patsy?
You should also find a link somewhere in there to Richard’s website
(http://www.pillock.org/about.html ;) where he is selling the DVD – you can also
see the BBC film online: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=939304522826805

Hello Chris and Tony,
It didn't come direct but was complete at the bottom of your email, Chris. What
a wonderful world this is. Jerry was selling a record "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"
by The Platters and Facebook rejected it because it was "tobacco related" yet
some of the stuff getting through makes your hair curl.
Anyway, back to your story, Tony. Now I know I have it, I will print it off to
be able to read it at leisure and I know I will enjoy the saga!
Thanks in anticipation,
Patsy

Tony,
For some reason Carl and Patsy’s ISPs bounced that message too!
Can you try again with the pCloud link.
Perhaps it’s the word “Pillock” it objects to as spam!

The whole thing was kicked off when some young drinkers at the Dear Hut,*
including young Richard King, were discussing, adventure traveling by
double-decker bus (possibly, although the young men might not have admitted to
Cliff Richard as inspiration, being Folkies, the film Summer Holiday was in the
mix). Anyway, a challenge arose from the landlord: he bet them a pint they
couldn’t travel round Europe, in a Red London Double Dekker Bus, which they
accepted with beery fortitude. An old bus was precured and fitted out for the
journey, including the addition of a of beer and sponsorship for a brewery
(what else!) was obtained. The bus was christened The Hairy Pillock. They
toured Europe, drunk the beer and played a bit of Folk music on the way -
eventually naming themselves as The Philanderers.
Returning to the Dears Hut they claimed their pint and were soon being
challenged to circumnavigate the globe – Europe was obviously a doddle. So
preparations got underway to fit out a London bus again, this time nicknamed
The Global Pillock. It took a lot more organising and a lot more time but they
eventually worked their way to Australia, and appearing on local radio to
advertise the band and do some money-raising gigs. It was in the Antipodes that
they realised, despite the Aussie reputation for potty mouths, that realised
the true meaning the band’s name, The Philanderers, offended the Victorian
senses of the Australian public.
Once home again, Richard King, now working for Channel 4, and having links with
Le Court, decided to put together the film shot of the trips and, hopefully get
it aired on TV. The project lacked backing but he did piecing the film
together, and with the involvement of Tad Polkowski’s (Le Court Resident and
Engineer of the Cheshire Voice, Cheshire Homes Talking Magazine), dubbed sound
on. I was involved, as said in making eastern-sounding Bazar noises and banging
sluice bottles and bedpans to make drum sounds. The film premiered in July 1982
at Haslemere Cinema, the money raised gong to Le Court. I have kept my
programme ever since. Richard lost his programme so I sent him a digitised
version of mine (copy attached).

* BBC Radio announcer, Andrew Timothy was also a regular at the Dears Hut.
I attended his Wake there. (He left enough money behind the bar for everyone to
get absolutely soused!). His son Christopher (All Creature Great and Small) as
also nearby and was a patron of Hyson Hill Cheshire Home.
