Talking of the ladder......
One day in the eighties the Duchess of York visited after parking a helocopter on Block 85. A rather stern looking policeman was stationed at the bottom of the stairs. The Duchess had rather a short skirt on and Roger Darling was happy to let her go first. He had to be told to 'avert his eyes'
to maintain royal protocol. Can't remember what Rogers reply was....
Happy Days.
