I'm really not sure about this entry, does anyone have any more information? - Ed.

Connection: David's family fled Europe before the second world war to the safety of the UK. They settled in Swansea and indeed he still has relatives living there.

I believe that David Baddiel's father may have lived in Pantygwydr Road, Swansea and Rory Cellan-Jones's family lived in the next road, Knoll Avenue, in the Uplands Area and two doors away from a well know Spanish Civil War character, (my wife's grandfather) captain "Potato Jones". A Cellan Jones was a well known surgeon who drove a 1930's yellow or cream Rolls Royce.

The father of David Baddiel (Colin) lived in Glanbrydan Avenue, Swansea and I lived opposite in the 1930's. I was born in 1926 and remember Colin who was a year or so younger, also his mother and father Sylvia and henry.
