Steveqpr881. I knew Steve Russell's father in 1960 but did not get to know Steve R until 2004!
Steve's Father a local painter and decorator back in the day decorated our hallway when our family moved in to Ashchurch Park Villas in 1960. He was a friend of one of my relatives and came highly recommended.
He did a brilliant job but shortly after the work was finished some scrawney 12 year old sprog put his dirty finger marks all over the paintwork
....Now I wonder who that could have been?

R.I.P. comedy scriptwriter Eric Chappell.
His most famous TV shows were the classic Rising Damp,
Duty Free & Only When I Laugh. A tenuous connection to the Rs there,
as the OWIL theme tune - "I'm h-a-p-p-y" etc was adapted to
"I'm Rangers til I die" etc.

Steve I do remember the Batchelors vocal trio from the early 1960s. They used to sing old fashioned songs and were too old fashioned for me! Amazing that they got in the Pop Charts back then.
My parents liked them....but then again they liked that Sunday evening radio programme called Sing Something simple...which I did not like at all.

I can't repeat it on here Bernard, but there used to be a version of 'Sing Something Simple'
