dear sirs/Madams,

My name is Mike McGill, and I am writing to this forum from New Orleans, USA (actually I live in a suburb of N.O. called Metairie). I came across this forum during a search for information about a U.K. television black sitcom entitled " The Desmond's". This show aired in the USA back in the 80's, and i had taped a few of the episodes on my VCR. But, these tapes, along with many of my other possessions were lost during Hurricane Katrina.


My main inquiry is this: The opening music for each episode was a Soca tune named "Don't Scratch My Soca". What I am interested in findong out, is the name of the artist that performed this song. Any assistance that could be provided would be most welcome.


regards,

mike mcgill

Hi Vimike,


Hi I am a fan too. It was actually Norman Beaton (the guy that played Desmond) that sung the lyrics to the theme tune! Unfortunately, Norman Beaton died around ten years ago.


You can buy the Desmond?s series on DVD from Ebay if you wanted to replace your set.

    • I’ve just seen this notice for extending DYL’s but I’m confused as to how long the extension will be. Is it going to be from LL to no.2 Bawdale Road? Or 3M from no 2 Bawdale Road? i) add new lengths or extend existing lengths of ‘DYLs’ (i) in ASTBURY ROAD west side opposite Nos. 3 and 5 Astbury Road (5m), (ii) in BAWDALE ROAD on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road),
    • If they're not sure they should at least be able to provide a range: reasonably best and worst case scenarios.  It's embarrassing.
    • I would report this to the police - the footage is excellent and he's pretty distinguishable. This won't be his first time doing this and it will help police link him to other crimes by cross-matching your CCTV to other surveillance. Definitely contact them. 
    • Vladi, sorry to hear this has happened to you. Was the car locked and if so do you know how he was able to unlock it?  The suspect looks quite young.
