Oh, I remember TW3 just not Millie Martin or anyone singing Tom

Wan't Rowan and Martin's Laugh In at the end of the 1960s?
I first saw it in 1968 in Florida.

I don't remember the timing but I do remember watching it with
flatmates in London and by 1970 I was out of UK & living for a while in
Belgium.

A good question!

All I remember is that we lived in a tiny hamlet of 4 or 5 houses, up a
cart track outside Brussels and I think I recall driving to work in
Brussels each morning on the Chaussée de Charleroi. I can't remember
the name of the hamlet but I do know it was on the very edge of the
battlefield of Waterloo. The monument was just visible, iirc. Maybe in
the Nivelles direction? We lived there a year or two after a disastrous
fire in Innovation in the Rue Neuf(?) where many lost their lives, I
believe.

Ruth Buzzy was a hoot. I acted with someone like her. A great laugh.
