Meet M&M at student internet so they stop in for tea.
PM begin reading aloud Charlie Chaplin^s autobiography. Absolutely fascinating and, somewhat to our surprise, very well written. His early childhood was spent in the Kenington road area of South London, very near the Imperial war Museum. As he was born in 1889, his memories are of a Victorian London, and one in which his family was so poor that he spent time in the Lambeth workhouse. Any real pretence of education had ended by the time he was twelve and his stage career had begun. Amazing the changes in his world as he went on to become an international star, a thorough cosmopolitan, and, in 1975, to be knighted.
