Thanks to John Bunker who added (July 2008): "My brother Adrian and I had our tonsils out here in the early 60's. I remember it for two reasons
1. We went there by taxi - run by "Squiz Bailey" who also ran the trendy Espresso Coffee Bar in Newerne Street. The car was a Vauxhall Cresta (PA) - which had "wrap round" front and rear screens - very hip.
2 The anesthetic was a gauze mask placed over the face fed with an Ether Drip. I came round early and saw my brother still in "production". How medicine has moved on .
