H G Wells in London

[Pentagon]

Does anyone know which area of London H G Wells spent most of his time asleep in the 1960's?

At a guess, the area round his bedroom?

Since H G Wells died in 1946, I take it you are referring to "The Big Sleep". He was cremated at Golders Green on August 16th of that year, so I guess he's still 'sleeping' to this very day where he 'slept' in the 1960s!

Was it possibly the name of a cat - they spend a lot of time sleeping. The British Museum has had various pet cats from time to time - perhaps H G Wells was one of them.

Got it! geofbob's cat suggestion prompted my memory. It was the dog in 'Father Dear Father', and here's a link to prove it:http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/f/fathe

Thanks Smorodina, I hadn't made the transition from cat to dog! I was still following up Geofbob's excellent suggestion.

Glad I was of some help. My other "sleeping animal" idea was that it might have been a panda, but they usually have Chinese names!

Never saw the programme, so just assumed Pentagon had mistaken the decade. I figured that naughty old HG - the original one - had possibly been having an affair with a lady from Stepney during the 1930s perhaps!
