Career
Andria Lawrence is best remembered for her appearances in both the TV and film productions of the 1970s’ British sitcom On the Buses. Her performance as "Turnaround Betty" in the 1971 On the Buses film exemplified the amorous type of comic role in which she was most often cast.[3] She was cast to similar comic type in For the Love of Ada (1972) and Man About the House (1974).[4]
Lawrence demonstrated skill in drama too. She appeared in Ken Loach's acclaimed slice of gritty realism Cathy Come Home (1966) and in the Hammer Films production Countess Dracula (1971).[5]
Lawrence is also a writer, publishing novel The Olive Tree in 2016.[2]

gollark: Not on the same connector, though: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.2#Form_factors_and_keying>
gollark: ... *can* you run IDE over PCIe or SATA?Oddly, with different M.2 keys, you can get I²C, USB, DisplayPort, audio, SIM card connectors, SMBus, SDIO, UART and PCM on a M.2 card. I don't know why they added support for this.
gollark: What do you want me to say, AHCI vs NVMe? PCIe vs SATA?
gollark: Er. What?
gollark: M.2 is just a different form factor. There are NVMe M.2 SSDs (PCIe-based, faster - though for most usage it's not distinguishable) and SATA-based M.2 (like a 2.5" SATA drive on a convenient "stick").
