I've been listening to some of the work by Ennio Morricone, composer responsible for many of the academy award winning sound tracks to Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns.


I hope you'll agree that Susanna Rigacci provides a haunting lilt to accompany the score.

You can just picture it can't you.


Keele university, early 90's.


We join our brave, intrepid new student Mockney on the dance floor at a union gig. Left home for the first time, eager to strike out and make new friends. The music is great if not a bit to the left. The throng of young adults moves to the rythme. We spot Mockney with his new hair style (parted in the middle) doing his best to fit in like most of us have done at one point.


Classmate: "Hi there, it's Pepe isn't it? You're in my modern history class."


Mockney: "Hi there, it's Piers actually but yeah, I'm in your class."


CM: "Great gig tonight isn't it. Have you seen them before?"


M: "No, it's my first time."


CM: "Hey, it's really noisy over here, do you fancy getting a snakebite?"


M: "Cool, what's your name?"


CM: "Jackie."


M: "That's a really nice name Jackie."


CM: "Thanks. Hey, that's a really cool Phat Willy's T-shirt you've got on. Where did you get it?"


M: "Oh my Mum boug.....I mean I stole it. Yeah I nicked it from Millets."


CM: "Wow, you sound like a bit of a rebel. Do you like my Fruit of the loom jacket and Reebok classics? My mum bought them for me."


M: "Yeah they look real neat. Hey, do you fancy coming back to my dorm to listen to some Nirvana?"


CM: "I'd love to but I'm with some people I've just met in my dorm and I can't just leave them."


M: "Oh O.K, maybe some other time yeah?"


CM: "Yeah, see you in class Pepe."


M: "Damn, I thought I was in there!"

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
