I remember catching up to one of them when he got run over by a truck, by sheer coincidence he turned out to be a friend of a friend. It was not nice to see.
The Ace you talk about is on the North Circular?
I think they are talking about the same place, the original (on the North Circular) closed in the late 60's or early 70's and became a tyre dealer, someone bought premises a few years ago and re-created the original cafe once again in the same spot.
