Can I point out that Milligoon and friends weren't boomers, but belonged to a generation which came before them as noted by Milligoons war memoirs. All of these were members of a generation which all appeared at The Windmill before going on to have a heavy impact on British culture. As far as I'm concerned even now that influence is not deaded!! 😎

Thank you: you’ve brought freshly to mind my much-, MUCH-loved grandad, who taught me the wonderfully silly songs he learned in the army during WWII and was a glorious Milliganesque co-conspirator in his grandchildren’s little schemes. Rest in peace, Leslie Edwin ‘Mac’ McArdle. We love you still. 😘❤️
