I see that the Showcase Cinema on the Kingsbury Rd has closed down, apparently Jaguar have bought them out, so they can expand I assume. Now the nearest cinema to me is at Star City,and I was never keen on that place. Ah well, there's always the telly. Terry

Still could'nt catch anything though. :-)

Going back to the horses, it took me a while to find it, but I have attached a newspaper clipping from 1946. It was my wife's grandfather who unfortunatly was killed by a horse. Terry
