Thanks for that Gembo - I’d like to visit that bench.
Sounds like Akela wasn’t prepared?

@colin - Poets Corner, Pembroke Lodge Gardens end of Richmond Park. 9 tracks on one arm of the bench and his desert island discs episode on t’other. Sometimes not working. Solar powered. Donated by the family in 2002.
Be prepared by taking your own Walkman and Blockhead tapes

Saw them in Tollcross.
Lead singer of support band said ‘I’m going to read you a poem’.
Didn’t think that was a smart move.
