Imagine if Liberte Fitness had existed back in the 1950s.Alas, Papillon's grandparents never thought of it way back when, but if had existed, perhaps it would have looked something like this.
This picture recently emerged from my family's archive (sounds a bit glamorous that - in reality it's from my grandad's photo album that he keeps in a draw next to his stash of peanuts and just in front of his collection of 50 pence pieces).
The picture shows my grandad's brother Richard, or Dickie as he was known, strutting his stuff at Barking Fire Station in the late 1950s.
Can you see the family resemblance? Apparently he used to put on shows like this during downtime a t the station where he was stations as a fireman.
Don't you just love that he felt the need to take his to off while everyone around him just seemed to want to spark up a fag - and that's not to mention the men who just want to look up the woman's skirt!
Maybe we should give it a whirl at Liberte - we just need a volunteer to be lifted up like a dumb bell.
