	Yep me too and fallen about laughing at how funny it was, well it was at the time. :-D
	Researching: Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

	That was mid sixties. I know it was because I was at school in Chichester then.

	Yes I have done it.. In Leeds,Tower Arcade there was a Tate Sales Garage for little MG's. My sister and I used to race down to get to the window/Mirror first. By that brings back loads of memories of the 50's. Thanks Sharron for bringing back some good memories. :-D :-D

	Yes, Sharron, I'm afraid I have! One boozy evening with my mates on Sunderland high street in the late sixties. We'd do anything then, no matter how ridiculous! :-D

	It is a sad little thing you can do anywhere but, as with everything, Chichester is the best place.

	I've never done that......I've never been to Chichester.

	We were talking yesterday about the shops that used to be in Chichester. There was one in South Street called Russel Hillsdens where you could get round the end of the window and we had all been round there and stuck one arm and one leg out so we looked like Harry Worth. Not recently mind. I bet you all did it, but will you confess?
