While we are thinking about Angela's how about this one Alison Moyet grew up in this Essex town, which sounds like it gave its name to a famous brand of writing paper Dee x

Awdrey Chipping Norton is correct. We visited once, was more of an old curiosity shop than 'antiques'. Ronnie wasn't about, but we bought an autographed book for our son. Angela
