Hope B*cat doesn't mind going OT, seeing as the question's been answered ?? It's just renluop's got me reminiscing about my time darn sarf.
The 1st week I spent in a posh place on Tottenham Court Rd, cost £45 quid a night back then (1989). After making friends with a few other BT lads down there, we ended up staying in 'The Union Jack Club'. £7 a night was all it cost, but my god, what an eye-opener !!
Everything, and I mean everything, was communal.
As an aside, used to see Buster (Great Train Robber) every morning selling his flowers outside Waterloo Station, his pitch was pretty much outside the entrance to our new 'Hotel'. Great, great memories ....... or should I say, great, great drinking days.
