Horace Batchelor and his (in)famous "infra draw method". Never understood what it was.

Not really off topis CJ: Keynsham was mentioned and Horace Batchelor was its only claim to fame! I sometimes wondered, if he'd personally won over 700 first dividends as he claimed, why did he need to go on the radio and flog his method?

From "Keynsham" by Bonzo Dog:

 

Harold Batchelor plays percussion in "The Intro and the Outro":

*Apparently Eric Clapton on Ukelele is actually Eric Clapton on Ukelele!

Three weeks late... Somewhat of a problem when I'd taken a month off work to get the infrastructure in place for us to move aboard.
