Sorry
to Bob and Earl for my infliction of The Actions' version of Harlem Shuffle,
but it suits the more mod-oriented page I was trying to write, and I think
that their acoustics are the best I've heard....
Some of us were still wear velvet 'patches' on our coats (albeit in Regimental colours) when we walked down Carnaby Street (which I did in the post-military years (not during my service to Her Imperial Majesty)). Contradiction is a skill, y'know! Unlike the complete loyalty one has to the Crown!
