Mark Rylance, who plays Thomas Cromwell, was on Desert Island discs on Friday.<br />We stayed in a B&B in Matlock once that was run by a man who must have based himself on Basil Fawlty ….. we had to be in at a certain time, got told off if our children so much as dropped a crumb on the floor at breakfast and he wouldn't get us a drink until Coronation Street was finished !! I wonder how long he survived ? <br />Have a good day …… will you be stopping for a cream tea ?
