GILL obviously had more of a 'chip on his shoulder' than I had realised...because recently, upon his network...he has been hissing and swearing at me - that i was 'middle-class'...as if he wasn't...his dad earnt more than mine...his family lived in a similar sort of house in the same area...and he had been sent to PUBLIC SCHOOL whereas I had been sent to a COMP.

I then thought about it a bit more deeply and I remembered this:

MARTIN GILL in plays at SOLIHULL SCHOOL.

The reason that he had been so 'well-loved' as the COMIC ELEMENT at SOLIHULL SCHOOL...wasn't because of his EAST END 'ENID BLYTON stereotypical working class ne-er do well accent' - what I mean is GILL's 'let us overdo it to the nth degree COCKNEY accent' (and boy, did he overdo it - I grew up with real Cockneys at ALL SAINTS PRIMARY SCHOOL and they sounded nothing like MARTIN GILL - he was a 'bad actor' in this way)...was because GILL used to get starring roles in the school play and from an early age...and he would NEVER change his accent - isn't that odd?

I suspect TODDY in that one.

I wasn't particularly interested in remote-viewing all of the above - but ROZ was because if she hadn't been picked up by MARK R and CO - her ambition had been to be a 'serious actress'...

All I can remember is everybody laughing at the 'COMIC ELEMENT' in a SOLIHULL SCHOOL play "the first one" says ROZ...where he had a starring part...I cannot remember the name of it and it definitely wasn't say THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST but it was a period, light-weight drama...and GILL walked on with the starring role and as if he were portraying ERNEST - he opened his mouth and a large spiel of overblown COCKNEY came out...instead of what one might expect..."he couldn't remember his lines" says ROZ "and the ones that he could remember - he hadn't bothered to change his COCKNEY dialect"...all I can remember is that he was dressed like a very stiff-upper lipped gentleman...
