They all looked like that in Meanwood in the 70's. After a dance at the Capitol Ballroom and a sweet sherry at The Becketts Arms..Hadleigh was set in Meanwood Park..

All the men in Meanwood dressed like this in the 1970's. ARE you sure it was the 1970s..no disrespect but it sounds like the 1870s. and where have you been Wiggy????? All we need is Brandy back as well

There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
