When they had an afternoon matinee, he would leave his home in Pudsey and go off to Bradford on the bus at lunchtime in full evening dress. Most people knew him, of course, but he still used to get some funny looks from strangers. For a while as a child, when I stayed with my grandparents, I used to think everybody went to work dressed like that!
