Ooh, you are awful

caddymanMonday morning, and for the first time in a while, oddness revisits Victoria.
Standing outside the Sainsbury's Local on Victoria Street, near the station, finishing off my cigarette before buying a paper and some breakfast, I was rewarded with the sight of the ghost of Dick Emery1 wobbling up the street towards me.
More particularly, since his trousers were belted and buckled at armpit level, and he was wearing an open cardigan and cloth cap, it was clearly Dick Emery in his immortal First World War veteran, James Maynard Kitchener Lampwick guise. Which is lucky, given the possibility that he could have turned up as Mandy, the frightening blonde man-eater. Not a character to be haunted by, I think.
Now I come to think of it, there's probably not a single one of his characters you'd want to be haunted by, but some would clearly be worse than others. Either way, the ghost of Dick Emery haunts Victoria.
