Andrew Brassleay @brass2000.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Jimmy Savile (yes that one) turned up at ours. His photo was taken among us and his arms around two of my classmates. He said, and I remember this, cos it was weird even then: "When I came out from behind the curtain, your mouths were open so wide I could have have popped a tennis ball into them". 100
