Yes, we went to London. I shared a room with Ron Pope.

I remember one evening we went to play in one of the parks there and we had a cricket bat. I was the batsman going in and I was knocking out the crease like we used to with the bat, and some bloke come up: ‘Oh’, he says, ‘you mustn’t do that – Jack Hobbs doesn’t do that.’ I said: ‘No, but Phil Mead does’, because I’d been to see Phil Mead by that time, over at Southampton.
