Don't mess with us Beatle fans!

So much to notice in this photo.   First you can't miss the blond in the middle of the photo looking like she is going to punch someone in that car right in the nose.  Then you notice the fan who is writing on the wall of John's house.   There is also other graffiti on the walls that isn't very nice to the Beatle girls.  No wonder John and Cyn moved to Kenwood!  I know a lot of fans still visited them out there, but it wasn't the craziness that they experience at Emperors Gate.

Emperor's Gate

“Everything changed again a few weeks later when the fans discovered our address. We woke one morning to find teenage girls, with the de rigueur beehive hairstyle and black eyeliner, camped on the pavement outside. After that they were always there, day and night. If any of the residents in the flats accidentally left the front door open they would grab their chance and slip-in. We’d fine them camped on the lino in the hallways, with sleeping bags and Thermos flasks.
Inside the flat we were fine. With the fans down in the street below we felt safe and peaceful several floors up. But once the fans discovered us it was clear that we couldn’t stay there for long and we wondered where we could go to escape the attention.”
