Re: Hoorah! The Cheat's Way of Never Having to Flip an Egg Ever Again!

Egg'n'chips story:

Irish-born Freda Kelly lived in Liverpool with her dad and became, accidentally, the Beatles secretary. She recalls The Cavern by remembering the smell that pervaded the venue. The toilets overflowed; it was opposite a market; and there was no air conditioning. The aroma was a mixture of disinfectant, fruit and sweat.

When Ringo joined the band and received nine fan letters at his home address, neither he, nor his mum Elsie, knew what to do. Ringo begged Freda to pop round to show Elsie how to reply to letters from fans. In return, Elsie made Freda egg'n'chips.

Elsie became very fond of Freda (whose mother had died when she was a baby) and tackled Brian Epstein about Freda’s salary. The following week, Freda was called into Epstein’s office. “We’ve reviewed your wages and decided to give you a rise.”

Freda does not reveal which was better - egg'n'chips or the rise .....

Just one of the many anecdotes from ‘Good Ol’ Freda’, a "fab" documentary about a very young lady's 10 years with the Beatles, but, IIRC, the only one about egg'n'chips .....

They can't, but I use bread soldiers.
