Just had a nose, it's The Leather Boys . . . kind of England's answer to The Wild One except, for 1963 it also touches on homosexuality which was very much a taboo subject!! I saw the film a couple years ago; very, very good.

I remember driving past there a lot; my parents had lots of friends and family around Wembley, Neasden, Willesden etc. Blimey, that takes me back!!

Has the cheque arrived with you yet Cathy? Just need to check as there have been some reported thefts from postboxes near the area where I dropped it off

Well done Angie! When I looked a few months ago it was showing as unavailable with no anticipated availability date. Will have to order the DVD as it was a brilliant fillum
