Are you looking forward returning to Epsom?

Last time I was in Epsom lots of friends of my mum and dad turned up without telling me. I’m really glad I didn’t know their friends from the church were there – I was uncensored and unrestrained and now they’ve seen me once they know what they are in for. I would go to the pantomimes and see my friends in bands at the Playhouse as a kid. Epsom was the scene of my teenage liaisons and poignant moments of romantic passion. Epsom has changed a lot – it feels a lot closer to London.
