[TR] Earls Court demolition planned

[John Macartney]

Still recall Standard-Triumph's UK Sales Director stating that in his view,
"those few young men who populate the Company's London showroom are overpaid,
oversexed and seriously underworked." Poor man, he had three seriously
stunning daughters whjo all did crazy things in their Herald Coupes and
Spitfires. But we salesmen from the showroom had much the same excitement
about Earls Court and for the same reasons - but we still came home at the end
of the week with 'flu, no voice - and a rather serious hangover, as I recall.
Great days!
