Yes it is true, in order to insire the people of South Norwood, we have arranged a showing of the old Ealing comedy, Passport To Plimlico at the friendly Woodside and South Norwood Social Club.
Entry is free, and with your first drink, tea, coffee or alcoholic beverage you will receive free afternoon tea, consisting of a variety of sandwiches and a cake made especially for the event by the excellent Boola’s Bakery.
When some local children roll a tractor tyre down a hole, it sets off an unexploded bomb left over from the Second World War in Miramont Gardens in the Pimlico district of London. The explosion reveals a buried cellar containing artwork, coins, jewellery and an ancient parchment document. Professor Hatton-Jones (Margaret Rutherford) authenticates it as a royal charter of Edward IV that ceded the house and its estates to Charles VII (“the Rash”), the last Duke of Burgundy, when he sought refuge there several centuries ago after being presumed dead at the Battle of Nancy. As the charter had never been revoked, Pimlico is legally part of Burgundy. Local policeman P.C. Spiller (Philip Stainton) is shocked to realise, “Blimey! I’m a foreigner!”
Look forward to seeing you there – remember to bring your passport!
