An afternoon with #edwarddebono Father of #lateralthinking & all-round #naughtyboy - Although our friendship began in the mid 1990’s our #history together - like that of all #mayfaireccentrics has always intertwined through the usual channels of #privatemembersclubs #charityballs #literaryevents & #cocktailparties hosted in sets at #Albany - home to hundreds of #Mayfair #Eccentrics since 1771 when ##DukeofAlbany in 1791 it’s been home to #lordbyron #aldoushuxley & my beloved #eccentric friend #JohnMorgan - famous for cashing his cheques at #Claridges - author #Debretts New Guide To #Etiquette & #ModernManners - He was tragically impaled on the railings in 2000 - leaving behind 60 #bespokesavilerow #Suits 90 pairs #bespokeshoes 300 #bespokeshirts Living in #Mayfair is rather like living a game of #cludo - without the #murder - (well mostly without the murder) & #albanypiccadillylondon always features! I recall many memorable nights that began with drinks at his set at #Albany on #Piccadilly once Gladstone’s set - who famously evaded the “No Women in Rooms” Rules by smuggling in girls via the #undergroundpassage which have run under the streets of Mayfair like a #secretcity since 1630s - there’s a hidden entrance to Albany via #BurlingtonGardens - When finally caught with a roomful of prostitutes & compelled to explain himself #Gladstone was affronted to be called to account for teaching fallen women their bible (at Mayfair) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn7H2uinFj9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iu57zm9t1v76
