The World of Stanley Unwin If you're here reading this then you're probably here for the same reasons as me. I don't know what it is but every time I hear him speak the speak I just collapse. I managed to wangle a few interviews with him a couple of years ago but I didn't quite know what to expect. What I did get was a huge and friendly welcome over a cuppa or two and a good few hours listening to an icon who was totally at ease with himself, amazed at his own good fortune and more than happy to regale you with incredible stories of the great and the good that he'd worked with over the years. And then he'd start doing the Unwinese. In case you ever thought it was scripted, I can honestly tell you: no. The thing is, Stanley was a genuine one off. Now sadly gone you have to wonder how this peculiar talent, this left turn of the language as we know it will survive. But this is not a site for sadness. And finally, one thing about those meetings that will always stay with me.
