If I remember correctley, there was a cafe/restaraunt above the Echo offices....I was in there one Saturday dinnertime about 1981 with 3 mates, and I noticed a coloured woman looking at us and licking her lips (we were only 15/16)......I think she was a mentalist!
The next time I saw her, she was chasing a suited gentleman across the road from Jean Jeanie, to everyone's amusement...............he looked scared ****less!
