Bill was married to my Mum's aunt Dot. She signed her letters Grey Tante Dot and was sympathetically known as Mad Aunt Dot for escapades such as parachuting from an upstairs window with a brolly when she was young (having been put up to it by my granddad) and sitting in a box and barking like a dog to amuse me and my brother when we were young.
But all that is by the by really. The reason I'm talking about Bill (Norman) Cook is that he was a founder of the Museum of London. Last Friday
On the way home I had an idea that to celebrate the launch and their originator, they ought to get Norman Cook to create a theme tune for the website, if possible by remixing sounds from their archive. I wonder what it would be called.
