Our band The Moonrakers regularly did the Forty Thieves, and we did "all Nighters"
amazing how well and orderly everyone behaved in those days,
It was a lady I think who ran it when we were there, I can remember the Chip butties, It was just around the Corner from the Jungfrau, which we played on a few occasions,
