On this day in south west Hertfordshire
Calling all Murphys . . . the manager of the Carlton cinema, Watford, would like to see you on Monday evening.
The film showing there next week is the new Peter O’Toole war epic Murphy’s War. So the manager has decided to invite local Mr Murphys along to the cinema on Monday.
“As long as they can prove with a driving licence or something that their name is Murphy, then I will let them in free,” he said.
