Hello Tony,
This and the two previous went directly into the SPAM box which I have
just had a peep into. All others have come into the in box where it
should. I don't recall making any alterations to anything but then I'm
not too keen on all this modern stuff - hence my non appearance on Zoom.
I am quite prepared to wait until we are all able to meet up in
person/face to face (still having to wear masks no doubt). This "thing"
isn't going to disappear despite what Mr Trump said.
Patsy

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:

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).
