Elvis in ED (Lounged)

[Pickle]

My otherwise dreary day has just been brightened up by the great guy I saw walking along LL - wearing an Elvis t-shirt, humming an Elvis song, wearing a name badge with "Elvis" on it. Oh, and he had an Elvis hair style too.

Whoever you are, thanks for making me smile! :))

[Jah Lush]

I think you'll find his name is Elvis and he works in the chip shop.

[dc]

He does work in the chip shop but he just swears he's Elvis.

[macroban]

Was this the first time ever you saw his face?

[Pickle]

Aha-ha ;-)

Lived in ED for 5 years and never had the pleasure before.

I can concur that wearing an Elvis t-shirt somehow raises peoples? spirits. I was wearing one when I went to Halfords the other day and the sullen, sulking cashier suddenly brightened up when she saw my shirt and we passed the time of day exchanging cheesy clich?s.

[Pickle]

... but did you have the hair and name badge to match? And how was your humming?

[Brendan]

I am of course not Elvis though. The guy who works in the chip shop is Elvis.

I'm just a fan.

[karter]

erm, which chip shop are we talking about?

[mlteenie]

Hey! I'm wearing my Elvis t-shirt today (but it wasn't me, unfortunately). It came from Gracelands too.

Ner-ner-ne-ner-ner!

The late lamented Kirsty MacColl's chip shop of course

[RosieH]

the guy in the chip shop is categorically NOT Elvis - he's a liar, and I'm not sure about you lot

[reenie40]

think he's actually the Somerfield delivery van driver - or he used to be if it's who I'm thinking of. Once sold him an Elvis mug at a school fair - easiest sale ever.

Brendan which Halfords was it... ?

[Brendan]

The one on the Old Kent Road.

Incidentally has anyone ever seen the old bloke in Camberwell who goes around on one of those pensioners? motorcycles that he has decked out in Elvis memorabilia?

[KalamityKel]

lol bless the area that is Camberwell... always something interesting to look at!
