Do you have a compilation of the best cape swishes?
I've gotten this request enough times that I finally decided to stop being lazy and make one!
Scott Davies, London

Greg Mills, Broadway

(I did look at a bunch of international productions, but they're apparently just not as showy.)

The three were particular [about their food] though, as Margo soon learned. Ringo liked 'soldiers', that is toasted bread cut in parallel strips with the crusts cut off. He wanted to dunk each 'soldier' in whatever liquid was at hand. George would only drink Earl Grey tea, bought specially for him from Jackson's of Piccadilly. As if this wasn't enough, the tea bag had to be dunked an exact number of times and the amount of sugar varied from one, one and a half, one and three-quarters to two teaspoons depending on his mood.
John was into 'jam butties' by the hundreds. (Years later, Margo went to New York to see Elton John's concert there. She had not seen Lennon in a couple of years, not since his move to New York. As she was registering at the hotel, she heard a voice yell "Jam butties and a cup of tea!" She turned around to see John. He never forgot England.)
All three rarely had anything for lunch except omelettes and chips. Margo was a very good cook and these delicacies were well below her capabilities. Penny occasionally did a fancy souffle or quiche to try to impress them. They would eat it politely and tell Penny it was marvellous. But when Margo appeared with their cups of tea, one of them would whisper "Could you bring me some chips, Margo. I only got a side salad with that cheesy thing at lunch. I'm still hungry."
Waiting for the Beatles: An Apple Scruff's Story, Carol Bedford (1984)
