Old Park View (2019)
“Mean Mr. Mustard”, written by John Lennon for the Beatles, was inspired by a 1967 newspaper story about a miser who concealed his cash wherever he could. The article detailed a divorce case concerning 65 year old civil servant John Alexander Mustard. He shaved in the dark, listened to the radio in the dark, and gave his wife just £1 during the last year of their marriage. An “exceptionally mean man”, said the judge. The court case reported that Mr Mustard lived at 38 Old Park View, Enfield.
