Well, that was a bit scary. Just installed firmware updates on both camera body and big wildlife lens. Both appear to have been successful. 📷 🤞

Thanks AB. 👍

Some of the other staff asked for autographs, and they were duly rewarded, each member of the group signing their name with '3°' underneath. Given that this was over 50 years ago, it feels way more recent. "Marti Caine was also lovely.

All three were absolutely delightful, friendly and chatty, seemingly pleased with the food I made them. We were somewhat used to entertainers calling in for refreshments - pop groups, and stand up comedians mainly, but very few* were as down-to-earth as the Three Degrees, and, to be fair, as famous.

As a young bloke of 18 or 19, it was an extraordinary experience for me. We had a limited menu (standard 1970s motorway cafeteria fare), but the couple of minutes I spent helping them to choose their meals left a forever impression on me.

It was quiet in the cafeteria and I wasn't doing much when I was suddenly aware of these three walking towards my position. They were in long evening dresses and little short fur jackets, high heels and big hair. Just them - no entourage or anything.

I had the pleasure of serving the Three Degrees with meals, back in 1975 or 76, at Charnock Richard motorway services, in the early hours one morning.

Thanks Rob.

Thanks AB.

Everyone in that side understood the assignment completely. They had a coherence at least equal to that of Bobby, Sadio & Mo in their pomp, but all through the side. Steve McMahon was sublime and John Barnes was completely unplayable at times.

Thanks Rob. 👍
