Ha ha - yeah - what did happen to Polly?
The last time I saw him was in The Cork & Cheese about 14 years ago...

A couple of people have disputed the 'Anarchy Hill' title but my recollection is that it was definately called that at least by some of us, although then again maybe its the old false memory syndrome playing up again...
As for Polly, I kept in touch with him for quite a few years. He left Southend around 1985/86 to squat in Wood Green after getting involved with a green haired anarcho-punk girl called Elaine from Scotland. They then lived together on an estate in Kidbrooke which had an off-license that was more like a nuclear fall out bunker, and had a couple of children, but unfortunately they split up after a few years. He then got in to another long term relationship, but I think that also went a bit pear shaped. The last time I saw him at a festival in brockwell park a few years ago, we went for a couple of beers in a pub just outside the park. He also at one point had a job working for a cordless drill company, and sent me a cordless drill as a 'free sample' which I still have and has drilled many a fine hole in my walls! He also told me a story about him getting the firm's forklift truck stuck in a pond, although I can't recollect the full details now.

andiprey Full Member -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You may know it Anarchy hill, but the ones before you just called it the green. The only thing time team will find there is Presto's cider.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My recollection was that the whole area was referred to as 'the green', the mound that the punks particularly seemed to gravitate to and colonised was 'anarchy hill'.
