A gentle man standing next to me in his dressing gown

In the early 80s I was just demobbed from the Army and back from abroad, Cyprus. I was staying in a hotel in the East of England, Norwich I think, during the night the fire alarm whent off and we all had to go out on the car park.

A gentle man standing next to me in his dressing gown said, ” Been some where hot” I had for 3 years so had a really good tan, I told him I was just leaving the Army and we had a good chat about mine and his experiences, It was of course Matt Monro,

It was a false alarm and we were offered free hot drinks my the manager, I had a cuppa and he signed the back of a photo of my 2 children, I still have it.
