BTW the worst thing about Notts Palais ( besides the revolving floor).........HAROLD bloody BETTS-THEME FROM THE FANTASTIC PLASTIC

Harry bets. My lord! Having said that the quality of some of the sounds over the years at the Palias was quality.

Remember the revolving floor in the room known as the Bali Hai with all those crazy funketeers throwing shapes

I wonder what the average age was at the dayers mind. I was 14 when I first went and didn't feel massively out of place.
