Owner of the Strawberry Teapot, Amanda Richardson said: “Toyah came in and had afternoon tea, with I think her band or her crew. I kept looking at her, thinking I must recognise her, I know her from somewhere. I was talking to her, and one of the crew said ‘thanks boss’, and then another said ‘thanks Toyah’ and it dawned on me. It was a missed opportunity to tell her how fabulous she is. I was a huge fan when I was growing up.”
