Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

No kiddin. Ever heard of Star Wars, Superman, the world's first talking movie, Hitchcock? Also the Beatles. You may know the Studios as Elstree. But it's in Borehamwood. I remember walking to school everyday passing the bus they used in Cliff Richards Summer Holiday. Check my town out on Google. We are the other Holywood.
