Heathrow nostalgia

All this talk of the Tower going..... the beginning of the end was when Hatton Cross hostel went.
Couldn't leave a pie in the oven without watching or some so and so would half inch it!
Tom O'Connor would come in abut 2 am and awaken everyone in the dorm by putting the lights on and playing an LP!

And one new ATCA lasted about 4 hours after being dropped off one Sunday before getting Mummy to pick him up as he was scared. Never did start on Monday morning.


Back to the Tower, remember Dave Lister in '72 blocking the Lansom tube to QB after I told him we regularly put a duster down it to clean the inside.

And Steve the STPO who did a runner one night- was found in the bar playing the piano amongst the dreg glasses.
