If you worked at GEC on LCD displays did you know my best friend Anita (the somewhat insane technician that worked with the insane genius Pat)?

Wow, yes! She was great. Her stories of Doctor Who conventions made me seek out the science fiction society at university and leap at the chance to go to a convention the first time I found one. Small world! Pat was cool too. We had fun at lunchtimes doing the Evening Standard crossword.

She and I always shared rooms at Doctor Who conventions, had the collective video collection of almost everything and spent a lot of time shouting "Sod, that for a lark!" which had been our catch phrase throughout the 1983 Longleat celebration when the queues were too long for anything.

She lives in Southend now, has a daughter, and is still insane. I keep trying to tempt her and family out here. I shall make sure you're on the invite list if she ever makes it :-)

Happy to see her if she makes it up here :-) The cons sounded like wonderful times.
