........ he is determined not to miss a single opportunity to London Lounge ……
….. or to partake in every day London life as opposed to just being seen as a tourist!
So yesterday, while Hugh was out researching new locations for Emmerdale, and advising “Strictly” on sourcing sequins for the next series, Darrell took himself off to Hammersmith to chill in The Hammersmith Ram, which Hugh had recommended for it’s romantic open fires and casual ambiance.
…….. and while he was enjoying a small Vimto on the rocks, embracing his surroundings and contemplating the possible purchase of a packet of smoky bacon crisps, he was approached by one of the staff, asking if he would like to contribute a sentence or two to The Rams customer story book! Well this put Darrell in an absolute state of flux, as he was obviously looking very local and could even possibly pass for a real life Londoner, his London lounging honed to perfection!
Naturally, Darrell said “Mais qui” in his best Cockney accent …. and pondered seriously about what to add to the “story” so far ….. as it had been written in a very random, and seemingly unconnected way ……
….. before simply putting “When a man (or monkey) is tired of London, he is tired of life” …….. to add to the aforesaid randomness …. but also expressing his true feelings……. 
…… and then glowed with the idea that he had just become part of the Rams legacy! What is he like????
Can there be any doubt Darrell is a Londoner to the very core of his London Lounging self? His innate London nature cannot be denied! Even Londoners recognized he was not a tourist type visitor...... Chateau Greysquirrel (and Wolverhampton) will always be part of his heart and soul; his roots, so to speak, but the London part of his being cannot be denied......enjoy those London moments!.....Dianne
