I HAD the great privilege on Saturday evening (Jan 11) of visiting The Hippodrome to watch the production of The Elvis Years.

It was brilliant although some may say I am biased.

During the course of the evening I lost my mobile phone, not a modern one but I was still dismayed to lose it.

Making enquiries at the end of the show it had not been handed in.

However it being an Elvis audience I was not too perturbed and I wasn't let down for on visiting the theatre today (Jan 13) it was there waiting for me. Thank you to the person who handed it in.

On reaching home I decided to re-charge it but after some 30 minutes it was still dead and on looking inside the phone there was no battery. It must have fallen out on impact with the floor.

As I write the staff at The Hippodrome are searching for it.

I had a careless evening, for the interval I had decided to take an Elvis Monthly magazine I bought in 1987 – I was catching up on my reading – but at the end of the evening I discovered I had lost that as well.

So I would be grateful if anyone in attendance who might have picked the magazine up, and didn't know of course who to return it to, would return it to the theatre they will advise me. I live in hope.
