                    When I was a regular in Hock's the Indian restaurant in Uplands, Swansea in the late 70's, Neville Meade, the British Heavyweight Champion, was on the doors.

                        Lonsdale Bar/Cafe in Merthyr was owned by Howard Winstone (I think)? Managed by his brother as I can’t remember ever seeing Howard Winstone serving me tic tacs.

                            I think he was paid to deter anyone who was coming speedily out of the door, rather than who was going in!
