It is, but Notting Hill.
So Timothy Evans was your typical working man in 1940s England.
He was a Walshman from Glamorgan by birth, and he'd moved with his family to London in search of a better life, like many.
Tim had suffered health problems most of his childhood, and he missed a significant part of school because of those health problems.
He was barely literate, and later IQ tests would reveal substantial intellectual deficits.
Whatever intellectual deficits he had didn't prevent him from being something of a rocketeur.
He'd tell tall tales about his ex-boys that few people would believe.
And in reality, he was a lorry driver who had very little excitement.
Save for when he was arrested for stealing a car in 1946.
A serious offense for which he was fined 60 shillings or three pounds.
For reference, the average wage in London at the time was about 5,000 pounds a year.
So I don't know.
You might want to take your bets and steal some cars and see if you can sell them for parts.
There you go.
Did I see it?
I'm just a girl standing before a boy asking him to love her.
Is that from Notting Hill?
I didn't even know that.
Yes, it is.
Of course it is.
