EXTRACT: 1953, I can't believe it's been two years, it's been two years, hasn't it? I was lucky, wasn't I? To get this room. Seems like half the country has come to town to see their boys come home. I rang three hotels before I got this one... I like Kings Cross, everyone rushing around just doing their own business, not caring tuppence for anyone else.
