I used to spend my summer holidays with my cousin in Lyon Street (57). The English rock band The Pretty Things were staying in the flat downstairs one time I visited.

This is from "The Leather Boys", right? Is there any other Bognor footage in the film (not just Butlins, but along the seafront etc.)? I'm trying to decide if it's worth buying a DVD! Thank you!

Yes later on in th film when the twp lads visit the seaside it is filmed at Bognor. Good shots of the pier, the Promenade and an amusement arcade.

I was 3 when this was shown, I just wondered if anybody knew if the Porters were "tipped" or just on a flat wage ?

[@sulray]

flat wage but tips happened

How many days did that marriage last, or did they manage a few weeks?

Nigel Williams : He probably ended up beating her up to a pulp.
