Since I accidentally feature in this video, I can disclose it was filmed just over a month ago. I should get out less.

Looked several times, and can’t spot you ... unless it’s the chubby bloke checking in HBO

If it helps, I watched the video through first time and also didn't spot it. A sharper eyed FTer did, however.

Anyway, given your previous comments, how are you finding the Tower of London UncleT, isn't there a smoking ban there?

I was a little surprised too but perhaps breaking from tradition.

A very famous Archie here for those old enough to remember

Is Archie actually a name rather than the shortened version of Archibald??
(still trying to decide which one of the women or men is CWS. Any hints?)

If Archie inherits the Windsor hair-loss gene, he will indeed become Archie Bald

An absolute classic, PETER01, although nowadays when I watch it I cant help thinking of the Trainspotting scene...!

I assume our target is the chap strutting down to the gate in the style of a prop forward. Although he might just be a tad too athletic looking for c-w-s.

There was, of course, another famous Archie in my youth ... and he's even got the Windsor hair-line
