DOOR
PLAQUE
This is a lovely memento from Ward 13 (and I know this because
it has been scrawled on the back in permanent pen). It's 15 inches
long and of weathered pine construction, washed haphazardly with a
cheap white household gloss which exemplifies the archaic nature of
the CRCMH. In keeping with this theme, the name has been painted on
"really well" in black capitals. None of your diamond enscribed
platinum name-plates here, no sir. Poor old Sister Muthucumaru had
to make do with this tatty old bit of wood. Dere's respect for you
(Bwana?).

If
anyone has any recollections of Sister Muthucumaru (or indeed believes
that I didn't actually make the name up and can merely verify the
fact that she existed) - Let us know.
UPDATE:
One avid CRCMH enthusiast has had a quick look on the UK electoral
role for us, and can confirm that the surname does indeed appear to
exist (see, I told you that it wasn't a fabrication of my twisted
mind) - and there was one solitary entry:
Priya Muthucumaru,
aged 56, of London WC1.
So there you
have it. Is is our Sister Muthucumaru? Sounds plausible. Well,
you never know. But if she gets in touch, I'll quite gladly return
her sign. I appear to be quite good at returning signs (see Gratis
Surprise Incorporated).
Anyway, keep
'em coming.
