It was definitely Ralph. I saw him in the North Laine last Sunday afternoon, we nattered about the Coventry game ('what is the collective noun for headless chickens?' he mused), and I pointed with a certain amount of derision at his locks. He was a bit embarrassed with them, but he said he had just been playing the part of a Status Quo roadie in Corrie. 'Why they chose me, I have no idea' he said.
