I Worked at "Kings Casino" from 1984 to around Early Winter in 1987, about 3 Years!
It was a Great Place to Work and most of the Kitchen Staff were Great as well, I had a Good Reason for leaving, I will talk about this next Time!
But I have One Last Story about the "Casino" I would like to Post about, some 25 Years later (after I had finished at the Casino), My Son "Nathan" Who Works as a Coffee Vending Machine Engineer, in the East Anglia Region of the UK, by Coincidence has Machines in "Kings Casino"
He was Repairing a Machine there about 2 Years ago, when He got talking to a Female Member of Staff, who had Remembered me Working there all them Years previously!
She had apparently been Working there for over 25 Years and also Had a Photograph of me and "Head Chef" Peter Culley.
So the Next time "Nathan" was there Mending a Vending Machine, she gave Him the Photo (to give to me), she had took it all them Years ago!
That's Peter in the Middle, with me to the Left!
I Remembered it well, it was Taken around Christmas/New Year Period in 1985, it was a Big Buffet, All Types of Meat and Seafood you could Imagine, I remember the Restaurant was Closed that Night, but there was well over a 150 Covers at the Buffet.
Its Great to Look back on Photos like this, its the only thing I have concerning "Kings Casino" and as the Casino Closed Down about 18 Months ago, I'm not likely to see or go in there Again!
As for some Music, My Favorite English Band are Level 42, and in 1985 they Released a Single Called "Something About You" Prior to the Album which Followed, Called "World Machine"
World Machine was Level 42's 6th Studio Album, all of which were on the Polydor Record label."Something About You" was Written by Level 42 and Wally Badarou.
It was not Released until 1986 in the US, and became their only Top 10 Hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, in the UK it Reached Number 6 on the UK Pop Chart!
I saw "Level 42" Live about 2 Years Previous to the Single Release, Mark King was Great on the "Bass" the Best British Bass Player by Far!
I Believe after Their next Album Release in 1986 called "Running in the Family" Level 42 went off the Boil a bit, and went too Commercial, this coincided with the "Gould Brothers" Leaving the Band!
