Hi All,
As a constable at Aston Police Station in the 1950s I was for a time attached to the plain clothes department (not to be confused with CID) In those days the Force came under the control of the Watch Committee and one of our duties was to attend the first house at the Hippodrome every Monday and ensure that the nudes stayed absolutely still. If they dd not it would have been reported to the Watch Committee and the Hippodrome would have been in trouble. I did not see Laurel and Hardy but I dd see Morecambe and Wise when they were on their way up. L and H were on their way down when they appeared at the Hippodrome. I must admit that I have had worse jobs.
