I've just had a phone call from Ria. We were at school together (she was in the year below) but we haven't been in touch for a couple of years. My mate Dave from university used to live next door to her in Peckham.
Her daughter has just started school in Forest Hill. As she was collecting her she recognised one of the other Mums as being Gabriel, who was in the year above me. They chatted briefly, and will, obviously, keep seeing each other.
"Wasn't Gabriel in The Boyfriend?" asked Ria.
"I'm not sure...wasn't that in 1983. Would you be really shocked if I said I happen to have my 1983 diaries right in front of me now...?"
And I was able to confirm that Gabriel was indeed Polly in the Boyfriend in March 1983...
