Nearly but not quite. The drummer from the 80's pop band ' The Cutting Crew' was from Hull. ****ed if I can remember his name, in fact I never knew it in the first place. His old man was Eddie Beadle who had the ironmongers near North Bridge. Surely that's hit the jackpot?

I went to Kingston High School at the same time as John Alderton, he was always very good in the school plays. My wife went to Newland High School at the same time as Maureen Lipman, she was also very good in the school plays. Maureen's uncle Izzie Lipman made me a made to measure black "Beatle Style" suit, it had a red lining. He was a bespoke tailor in Hull, the suit cost £7 10 shillings and sixpence.
