Mornington Crescent, anyone?

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Hello Y,
Are you now or have you ever been in the entertainment industry?

I was not. To save time I'll tell you that my pre-retirement life was as a musician. :)

Rock (with a blues-ish edge to it), yes.

No, not him. I had no idea he was still alive :shock: , probably because all we hear about ancient BBC presenters these days tends to involve their being interviewed by Yewtree personnel. :(

Well hello Mr Y..

How about Chris Youlden of Savoy Brown fame ?

Probably not, and I don't even know if he is retired... so being cheeky & assuming not, then are you possibly one of the Scottish born Young brothers?
