This week I have been diving around the newspapers from my hometown. In reality, this was for a personal vanilla project. Thankfully, I was able to find numerous articles and pictures of myself and my family. Well, there were no pictures of my family, but I did find some pictures of myself. I even found an article of my dad in 1970 when he was fined a fiver for defective tires, lol.

However, you ain’t here for my vanilla projects, are you?

During my search I was able to find a new stage spanking, and it was in a theater that I didn’t even know existed. The really funny part is, the theater was on the same intersection where I would go for a curry after a night out pretty much every week.

The location makes sense, though, as this was in the area where the two movie theaters were located, along with the town hall, and close by to McIlroy’s Ballroom where The Beatles played to 360 people before they became famous.

The other stage spanking image from my hometown for ‘The Girl Who Couldn’t Quite,’ took place on the other side of the town center, far away from the entertainment complex.

Now then, let’s start by stating the obvious. The picture is absolute gash. You can’t even see the upper half of the woman, who, by the way, is an actress called Pauline Yates. While I can’t confirm it as we can’t actually see her, this would almost certainly be the same actress who played Leonard Rossiter’s wife, Mrs. Perrin, in ‘The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.’ Miss Yates also made many other TV appearances. She was a renowned stage actress as well.

So here is the newspaper clipping in all it’s glory. Underneath the image I have included the AI rendered image that I ran, based on the little that AI could see in this really bad clipping. They are not the same, clearly, but it gives you some idea as to what it may have looked like.

 And here is the artificial attempt to recreate the scene above. At least it got her legs right. 🙂
