Great site! I remember the Sinyx practising in my cellar at Tylers avenue many moons ago! As for the Royal cafe,me and pige rescued the sign for the cellar as a tribute to the great times we had over a well shaken can of (someone elses) fizz! As an aside any body got any memories of Park road,Queens road and the caravan behind my house where Steve 76 lived for a time?

Ah Weebz me old fruit, marvellous to see you on here. I've still got the lettering from the Royal Cafe sign in the attic and shall attempt to rebuild a complete replica of the place once i've learnt how to lay bricks in an orderly fashion. Hope all is well, Al.

RE.Royal cafe sign. Just nail it to Hadleigh castle, we spent as much time up there as in the cafe! By the way, whens the next cornflakes and moped party but this time without your mum coming back early! We are all grrrreat, all the boys are keeping it live especially Matthew. He plays guitar/drums and his mohican is as big as mine was! The current scene appears to centre around the "Mill" in Rayleigh(e.g. Fat penguin).Take it easy,easy!!

The Royal Cafe was immortalised in song, 86-Mix, "One o'clock lunch" don't think it was released but it does exist so, one to look forward to.

Didn't Coral work at the Royal?
If not, then she should have done; in order to make my memory correct.....
I found a receipt recently; double egg, sausage, egg, chips and beans £1.75. When I say "found" it is actually part of a single cover of a single that was never released, although by the look of the cover it woulkd have been magnificent ;-)
Also, I've just remembered - anyone know of Dee (female version)? I think Dee was short for her first name which was; Dweeblestiltskin (or something, actually, probably not Dweeblestiltskin, because that's * * quite * * an unusual name and I would probably have remembered it..................).
All I can actually remember is that she went to St Bernard's...........and she was called Dee.

The Royal Cafe was often better after work. Sitting with a cup of tea and a wedge of bread pudding. What was the record shop up the road? Golden Disc?
The cafe was called the Cafe Royal in "One O' Clock Lunch", an obvious play onwords by Julian. The track is tuneful but lazy...it's a direct steal of "Gramme Friday" by The Fall and the lyrics could have been better - a tad too obviously anti-everyone though a bit of fun to do...
I have the studio original on tape and it has made it to cd along with some practice session stuff I did for Julian, Jeff and in the pipeline for graham and steve...

Every single surface there was sticky. I also remember seeing a thumbprint* on the skin of some custard which was served up. You just don't get service like that these days.
* Although I had a good view of the said marking, it is fair to say that it could have been a fingerprint. The clue was the way the bowl was being held - it's difficult to get a fingerprint on custard that way (go on; try it).
Actually, I'm not sure why I'm considering the identity of the digit at this distance in time. I may need to either; a) get a life, b) shut the feck up, c) there is no c) or d) admit that I have no mates and my only friend is an invisible badger called Keith.
Note to self; don't post on websites after a liquid lunch when sitting bored in front of a PC. I'm off to surf porn like any other normal bloke.

The Kippars used to bring their nice shiny black SLR cameras to the Royal. I know Marcus took a few at Roots Hall and some at the Subbuteo tournament...
In my vain attempt to join that illuustrious band of snappers, I purchased a cheap 35mm Russian camera (Zenit?) but failed in my endeavours, as said small lens camera was dubbed, by Andy Kippar, ..."The Nose"...
