In 1966, Cavendish was cutting Jane Asher's hair she asked him if he might be free later that day to cut her boyfriend's hair. Cavendish knew full well that her boyfriend was Paul McCartney, who along with his bandmates was just about the biggest name in the world at that time. But Cavendish told Asher he couldn't do it because he was going to see QPR play Swindon.

On Escape to the Country, there was a recently retired guy who was moving from Maidstone to Wiltshire but the new house had to be within reasonable travelling distance to London as he was a QPR fan for over 60 years. After last Saturday's performance, he's probabaly looking at places with no rail links.
