• Got into some trouble in soho a couple of years ago, and a guy called mark usher who also went to willy de stepped in and saved me and my mates from a kicking on a crazy night out in 2009. Turned out he is a major player in the mafia or something and is well known in the soho area as "the Gentleman".  Just remembered this because my mum and step dad bumped into him walking the dog and he recognised them as he used to wash my step dads car when he was a kid.
