And my father said, would I work and sell train tickets at the London Marathon? Yeah.
Hugh BrazierGUEST
And could I come up to the Strand Palace Hotel? And could I sell the tickets? And so I arrived and it was the basement of the Strand Palace Hotel and I was in a cloakroom and I was selling for 50p.
Hugh BrazierGUEST
Yeah.
Hugh BrazierGUEST
50 pence, half a pound.
Hugh BrasherGUEST
Um, but in those days, you had to, uh, pay 50 pence, so half a pound sterling.

And, uh, and my job was to sell those tickets at the bottom of the Strand Palace Hotel, which was the hotel where everyone went to register for the three days beforehand.
Hugh BrasherGUEST
And that was my, uh, sch- uh, holiday job while I was at school.
