Thread: The night JOHN LENNON bought chips in CAROLINE STREET

  1. #1

    The night JOHN LENNON bought chips in CAROLINE STREET

    Was talking to a fella in a pub in St Mary St and he reminded me of the time in December 1965 when the Beatles had just finished a gig at the Capital Theatre, when John Lennon wanted a bag of chips, so off he toddled to Caroline Street.

    Urban myth I know, but I bet you a pound to a pinch of salt it'll be in the EGGO tomorrow.

    Apparently, immediately after, he went to the Hayes, where his independence seemed to vanish.

    Did he go up Caroline street and turn left or did he take the long and winding road?

    That also brought memories back for me too. In fact, my memory is really good, I can even remember things that happened before I was born. I always remember going to the Capitol with my dad, and coming back home with my mum.
