Hunting on YouTube I realised the bloke in Smokie that sang Living Next Door To Alice, was Chris Norman, of Midnight Lady fame.
I've said it before on here but it still makes me smile, we were travelling through the Czech Republic in an overloaded old fiesta with most of our wordly possessions crammed inside and two bikes hanging off the back while taking a month to drive to Italy to start work.
We pitched up at an odd little campsite by a lake that seemed very much like an industrial waste run off - no paddling. We were the only guests, there was a small bar where we went for steak and spuds. No common language was spoken and there was more of them than us.
We had a couple of pre meal beers and were introduced to their guard dog Rottie; he was a very big lad. "He'll bite your face off honest," is what they were trying to tell us but his eyes told different - the food came and one of the lads picked up a guitar.
It took a while, but with a mouthful of potatoes we both burst out
"ALICE?"
"etc, etc, etc"
But of course you had to be there
