I think I was six

And cry.

I was eleven
and BREAKING and POPPING hit Hampshire like a runaway freight train.

Man it was like the freaking BRONX for a hot minute. St Maurice's Covet in Winchester, you know, where the WI market is, by Marks and Sparks, was like a B-BOY BATTLE ZONE. All the rival crews, from like HARESTOCK and WEEKE would battle it out to the sounds of the Streetsounds Electro compilations.

You know, we used dancing to get away from all the gang fighting that used to go on.

It wasn't remotely silly.

How's St Maurice's Covet looking nowadays?

Not bad at all.
Since Debenhams have done their Christmas windows it looks lovely - and it's SUCH a convenient cut-through from the Cathedral Close to the Lower High Street, and of course if the WI market is on there's always a chance you could buy a nice fruitcake from my dear mama.

If there's a piles joke staring me in the face
I just don't see it, sorry.

How can you not see it???
St. Maurice, he's got piles hanging our of his Covet, because covet sounds like it might mean crevice or bum.

I think I can just about be forgiven
for missing that one, don't you?

NO
What about 'passage'? When you see a street called St. Suchabody's Passage, do you think about his bum? Me and my ex saw one of those in London years ago, and it was off Shafts Bury Avin' You. I could not breathe for laughing.

In all the years I have ambled down that very street
that never occurred to me.

What a fool I am!

AND!!!
John Lennon's childhood home is on Menlove Avenue!!
Men. Love. 'Avin. You.
A woman once got on the bus and said to the driver "D'you go up Menlove?"
Do. You. Go. Up. Men, luv?
Oh man, this world totally tickles me.
