In 1991 I was an Olympic gymnastics hopeful. They called me the rubber thatcher. Because of my great flexibility and at the time I sported a hairdo similar to that of Margaret Thatcher.
It was early May, and with a tour group of other Olympians we were taken to Ramsay Street.
The day progressed quite nicely as we got to not only see behind the scenes and inside lassiters, we also got to see them shoot a few scenes.
At lunchtime, sandwiches were served. I grabbed the egg salad (my favourite) and sat down next to some of the cast members. Harold Bishop being one.
Just before I took my first bite he turned to me and said " I love egg salad. I just wish they wouldn't add those chilli flakes. Makes it too spicy and always gives me heart burn".
I threw the sandwich to the ground and thanked him. You see I'm allergic to chilli flakes. Had I taken a bite of that sandwich, then I would have gotten a very upset stomach. This encounter changed the course of my life. I quit the Olympics (actually banned for doping, but still.) And became a volunteer at the red cross. Money has been tight, but thankfully helping the homeless is a red cross speciality.
Great show, thumbs up👍
Also why wasnt lou in the final?
