Didn't know that mate, but while working in Solihul (Touchwood Shopping Centre) near Birmingham some years back I met a girl in David Lloyds Fitness Arena........at least the Cinema part of it, and she showed me a few places of interest.
One was Sarehole Park in Olton where the original story by John Ronald Ruel Tolkien was first written about Middle Earth, Hobbits, Lords, Rings etc.
She took me to a Wetherspoons pub in Acocks Green called the Spreadeagle where I even sat in his well worn Oxford University chair dating from 1938....probably still there today, in the back of the pub with the white rope around it.
Back then I bought an original proofed signed portrait of him at an auction for £150 in 2001....
...however.....the first Lord of the Rings movie we both went to see in the Lloyds Cinema in Solihul back then, and ten minutes from the end of the film, the fire alarms went off.....firemen came in "evacced" the place....and everybody out.......and to date I've never ever got to see the end of the film... not even yet!!
Though they did give us two free return tickets within the year.
She wasn't interested in football.....then... though she lived 600 yards from Aston Villa......but by the end of the month she knew more about Celtic and Paradise than Master G, the slipmeister ever did!
