[Healeys] Croupier 100-Six

[David Lodge]

 Hello Peter,
I remember the change-over from telephone exchange names, although I wasn't affected at the time.  When I ended up in London in the Earl's Court/Fulham area,  it had been changed from Fremantle to FRE to 373  (Oh the irony!  And the fact that many people thought that it had been called Freemantle, after the City in Australia, as Earl's Court was nicknamed Kangaroo Valley because of all the Australian transients living there!  Another which sticks in my mind was the Chelsea exchange of Flaxman, which had considerable cachet in the early Sixties when the King's Road was a fascinating mixture of upmarket antique shops and expensive restaurants.  Then came the "Swinging London" phase when I remember seeing Peter Sellers walking into a posh nighterie called The Arethusa and further along towards Sloane Square on the opposite side of the road stood "The Pheasantry", reputedly the home of  Charlie II's mistress Nell Gwynn, and a very posh night club.  The interior is featured in the film "Blow-up".  I remember the outrage when they built the Chesea Drugstore (Featured in "You Can't Always Get What you Want" by the Stones and an interior shot in "Clockwork Orange").  Later it became a MacDonald's, if you please!  I was there a couple of years ago before ye pestilence and it has, of course, been destroyed!
But enough Healey chat!  Is that enough geekery?

 So my reason for asking was this: The phone number on the shop is post 
1958, but the dress and characters look to be much later in which case 
the phone numbers would have changed again (in 1990 to 071 for Central 
London and 0171 in 1995, 0207 in 2000).

Just continuity ;-) and geekery!

Peter
