I know someone who was traumatised as a kid because of Sooty. His parents had taken him backstage to get an autograph from Harry Corbett and maybe a picture with Sooty himself, but Corbett's last 'fire-eating' trick had gone slightly wrong and he came running backstage with Sooty covered in smoke. 'Burnt the bugger,' muttered Corbett as he hurled the charred glove puppet into the bin, where the remains of two others were already deposited. And so childhood ends.

Well IA, you may well have seen the 39 steps then; they still exist, though now in concrete. They run from the garden of the old nursing home (St Cuby, Cliff Promenade) down to the beach.
Indeed Tanya,Broadstairs is always full of nice surprises
