[Ridgley]

I use to see him a round Brixton back in the day which school did he use to go to Jah?

[Jah Lush]

Tulse Hill.

[Ridgley]

Yes have heard of it small world.

[Jah Lush]

It's not there anymore. It was knocked down in the early 90s and replaced with some poxy estate. It was a poxy school too though. Linton Kwesi Johnson and Ken Livingstone went there too amongst others.

[Ridgley]

I went to Priory Park Girls then we mixed with Kennington Boys and Stockwell Manor - now called Stockwell Park

Like me...but I am not famous luckily!

[Jah Lush]

No me neither. Infamy infamy! They've all got it in for me.

[Ridgley]

Looks like a couple of people went to this school:))

[Jah Lush]

Ladymuck's husband too.

[HonaloochieB]

JL - Francis Rossi of the mightyy Quo went there too I believe.

[Jah Lush]

No. He went to Sedgefield.

[HonaloochieB]

Really, that lying bastard Trevor White told me he did round about the same time as he was there.

If he hadn't emigrated to New Zealand years back I'd get right up in his face about it.

[Jah Lush]

The original bassist and drummer went to Kingsdale and Francis used to have a flat on Lordship Lane above the Co-op funeral parlour. Not many people know that.

[HonaloochieB]

I didn't know that JL, perhaps the location of his gaff was the inspiration for Down Down.
