I live just outside London in West Ewell, though we have London telephone numbers, near Epsom Hospital there is a road with a similar name, this would not normally be a problem however the person who lived at the same number as me ran an Elvis Appreciation Society, I'm not sure what happened whether he moved house, gave up or died, people were getting no response from the person we started getting people turning up at our house asking about the Elvis Society, we had to explain that it was based in Sunnyside Road in Epsom, this was some time before I started the blog. When packages and parcels fail to arrive I often wonder if the Post Office have delivered them to that address.
Our land line telephone number was one digit different from one of the local Old Peoples Homes, one person always seemed to dial the wrong number, he would then tell us off for answering the homes number, not that he had dialled the wrong number, we have had caller number identification since the late 80's, when he called we just ignored the call.
I lived in Greenford before we moved to West Ewell, in the 1980's the Model Engineering Exhibition and A Major Model Railway Exhibition were held in the Wembley Conference Center, great for us a short bus ride and we were there, I was at the Model Railway Exhibition and the way it had been set up you had to go through the entrance area to get between the two areas the show was located in, the reception area also had the Ticket Office where you could buy tickets for future events, as I was going between the two halves was packed with people dressed as 'Cowboys', I'm looking at my ticket and program was there a discount if you dressed as a cowboy, no there was a Country & Western Festival in the future, the tickets went on sale that day, they had all dressed up to go any buy their tickets.
