Peter Sarstedt 1969
Dueted with John Otway in a resounding rendition of "Really Free" in the Robert Browning Maida Vale.

Ooops.
A case of premature ejaculation.
It seems a bit excessive for Rolex to try to close down a business called Oyster and Pop selling children's wall clocks. ...

On closer inspection what I thought was 56W is in fact S&W which is the stamp for Schwab and Wuischpard.
