Sloane Square

And one of my favourites, Her Dress Are On Fire, which is great.

Yeah, I think it's all over Sloane Square.

Love that song.

But as I was saying there, I think it's two-thirds of a great record.

It's only because everyone kept saying I should be a model, but I don't know how because I wasn't even good looking.

And then I remember sending these photos up to Samantha Bond... agency she'd come back straight away I said come and see me so I remember getting the train to Sloane Square and it was the King's Road and they had a lot of agencies there and growing up you hear that lots of models get spotted and that along there.

So proudly I'd walk along thinking, oh, am I going to be spotted? The girls then who were massive were people like, I don't know if you know them now, Joanne Guest, Emma Noble, Lana Cox, these page three girls.

I'm like, oh my God, I'd love to be as famous as them.

And so I thought now's a good time to try it out, and I liked it with this funny brown skirt.

And it reminded me of, um, I don't know if it's still there, a school that's in, uh, close to Sloane Square, and all the kids wear this kind of yellowy orange and brown corduroy pants.

Mm.

And I always loved seeing them.

And, um, so I went round to Melody Maker during my lunch break.

I was pack- I was working in the packaging department of John Lewis on Sloane Square at the time, and I proceeded to ring every single label in town, and the last place I rang was Stiff.

I mean, I was very aware of Stiff.

I had Elvis' singles and, uh, you know, the Damned and whatnot, and I thought, "Well, they'll never hire me." And I just happened to ring on a day when the motorcycle messenger had quit the day before.

And she was Abercrombie & Kent.

It's a very posh travel agency based in Sloane Square, a very posh part of England.

and so she was travel agent to the stars like jeremy irons was another one uh kenny everett uh christopher skase if you're australian you'd know him so she she she was a very high-end esteemed travel agent and when she died she didn't have children and she left all her nephews and nieces a bunch of money so i was like okay i'm going to use that money for the sake of what i was thinking what can i do that's a bit of a black hole we don't know about okay, I'm going to go and explore these 5-MeO DMT containing plants because I don't believe the future is in the synthetic 5-MeO.

I don't like it.

You're like, oh, hang on, I've got a right to appeal.

They went, okay, while you appeal, you can absolutely just go waltz up and down, you know, Sloane Square.

Yeah.

Yeah.

There was a reason that I found that that had to be the date in the Mal Evans biography that's come out recently.

Ken Womack talks about Mal moving in with Neil in March 1967 to that address just off of Sloane Square.

So...

That's typed.

Um, that was it.

And we were in, like, a private room at the Cavalli store, um, close to Sloane Square.

Um, and she's so nice.

And then I've worked with Kris, her mom, through the Tommy days because, um, Kris and Tommy are really good friends.

Dr Anderson insisted on having Dr Bond re-examine the evidence to correct this misapprehension.

During May and June 1889, bits of a Sloane Square prostitute called Elizabeth Jackson kept turning up in the Thames near Battersea.

In July, 43-year-old Clay Pipe Alice McKenzie was killed in Castle Alley, Whitechapel, by someone who disguised his handiwork as the Ripper's by gashing her from the left breast to the genitals, cutting four parallel scratches and making one transverse cut across her mons veneris.

In September, a woman's headless, legless torso turned up under a railway arch in Pinchin Street.
