I remember JULY 1963 in Weston super mare! I was working on a holiday job in Fortes cafe before going to train in Bristol as a nurse, and the Beatles turned up for refreshment in the afternoon.
I did not know who they were but the other girls were frantic that they should choose my table to sit at! Taking the order, George Harrison asked when I finished work and would wait for me on the sea wall! Sure enough, he was there waiting but I left by the back door! What would my life have been if I had met up with him? Not stuck in France, maybe! I wonder if he remembered being 'stood-up'!
I would be interested to know. A
Hi Alethea. Great story - thanks for sharing it!
