In conversation...

I forgot to mention earlier that the lady I got talking to last night said that she was a not-too-distant relation of Stanley Holloway. Stanley Holloway is one of my favourite film actors, and he is in some of my favourite films. The lady never knew him, as he had died before she was born. We had one disagreement though; she said he was from Croydon, and I said he was from Essex. She didn't look entirely convinced. I was right, you know. I've just checked it online.
