Her family scarpered over to the UK in the mid-Fifties and settled in regal manner on the Archway Road (three doors down from the then very young Rod Stewart, as it goes) But some of the family couldn't be persuaded to make the long hazardous trip to live within spitting distance of the future singer of the Faces, so in my teens I'd be dragged over to do the trip in reverse - London-Carlisle-Stranraer-Belfast.<BR/><BR/>My most abiding memory of the trips is staying with some cousins who were mad keen fans of Elvis and Bruce Lee and them making me a sandwich with less than 1 mm slices of banana in it.<BR/><BR/>Funny what sticks, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Nice writing - will pop back and read some more soon<BR/><BR/>J.
