Charlton

On the show โ€” 5 mentions total

There was a burglar in 2014 who managed to delay 783 trains as a result of his burglary. He'd cut open a Curry's store near Charlton and the police turned up and he panicked and fled. Then he got onto his motorbike, also stolen, by the way. That didn't start.

Other times Charlton came up

  1. Lasted three rounds in a boxing booth with a professional boxer, and so he won a bit of money, used that money to buy a wedding ring for the women he fancied, and they had two sons, Bobby and Jack, and surname Charlton.

  2. We don't know who took part in this conversation, but the Guardian says, conversationalists quite unaud by the marvel in which they were taking part fell back as we all do on the weather, which was quite bad enough on either side to make a strong bond of sympathy. Indeed, a more pleasantly futile dialogue could hardly have taken place over a suburban party wall in Dulwich or Charlton, come Hardy, and that which so astonishingly bridged the ocean.

  3. But actually boxing booths, the reason that there's a more relevant association with them in the modern day is that in the 1930s, there was a minor who lasted three rounds in a boxing booth with a professional boxer. So he won a bit of money, used that money to buy a wedding ring for the women he fancied. They had two sons, Bobby and Jack and surname Charlton. Without boxing booths to credit another spurious link without boxing booths, England would not have won the World Cup.
