I remember him in 10 Rillington Place. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8g7psg
That as well as The Naked Civil Servant [Quentin Crisp]

I didn't like him in that. I thought he was miscast. But as Timothy Evans the role was a masterpiece of acting.

I am currently in puerto del carmen, Lanzarote, canary islands. A lovely little island which I have been visiting twice a year for many years.
If yesterday you hated me. Then today you can not stop the love that binds from me to you. And you to me

Many prefer Tenerife to Lanzarote. I did myself many years ago a lot more of party island although now older I like the tranquility of lanzarote.

I believe the weather is better out of all four as well.

Must admit, i enjoyed Lanzerote the most,   Been plotting a cycle ride along the Coast from Purto del Carmon, to Teguise, it's about 36k alond the coast line and flat as a pancake, 71 per cent is on a Cycleway.  Enjoy anyway ILB.

I've been to Los Cristianos in Tenerife numerous times. No partying!! There's Las Americas, just up the road along the coast, for that!! I usually go in Jan/Feb. Weather is fabulous.

Britain's seaside towns, largely white, absolutely miserable places, the tourist trade has gone, there are no new industries moving in, from The Wash to Brighton, empty hotels with boarded up windows, but with asylum seekers standing outside. https://youtu.be/YeJHuzLQb3g

It would be more cost effective for some families to go abroad then UK holidays,
