Kenny McA was an ageing drunkard who used to always be in a pub beside oval tube. He was quite lithe though, Kenny could never stay still. I'd go in now and again and he'd cadge a drink off of me. He was emphatic and warm and always used to repeat how 'lairds and ladies' lived in his block of flats.
He lived in an unremarkable block of council flats and so I dismissed this claim. But I never actually checked and, to this day, I do not know for sure if a certain block of council flats opposite the Oval cricket ground is not populated by lairds and ladies dressed in their finery playing piquet and retiring to drawing rooms.
