i was working on a refurbishment in islington london, just off upper street, we were all stood outside the local pup at lunchtime when hugh scully came to the local post office to post his mail. a very pleasant chap!. also on the same street salman ruchdie lived, it was just as the satanic verses episode was happening, he had a policeman outside the property 24 hours a day. we were on speaking terms with the copper :stop: we saw him that much. we drank in the earl of essex most of the time, the landlord was called bill, so was his son if anyone knows the area.
