The Eddie Chapman Story

[Caran]

Did anyone see this last night, what a past this man had. About 20 years ago a friend and I decided to have a weekend at a health farm. We found one midway to where we lived, near the Mimms services. Had a great weekend there. We saw quite a few posters advertising a film "Triple Cross", we asked the question "Why?" The answer was Eddie Chapman owned the health farm. He had bought it years ago as a brothel, ran it for years then when spa's and health farms came into being he decided to change it. The staff all seemed very fond of him and very protective. Can't remember the name of the place though.

I think it was 1997 when he died - he was in his 80s. I think that I have heard of him before - but at this time of the morning my brain isn't too alert.

I know the feeling. I think I have to go now!
