There are two old songs that got better for me when used in opening titles. This one and the one below:-

You've got to look out for each other in this weather. I just checked on my 88 year old neighbour to see if she needed anything from the shops. It turned out that she did ...so I gave her my shopping list as well. No point in us both going out in this.

It's true he let me sit on his pride and joy. I had to be lifted on it and then lifted off again afterwards, it was too high for me to manage on my own. This heartening anecdote has been brought to you by Carry On Ltd

You're not catching me out twice. I typed all this a few weeks ago and it disappeared.

This would definitely void his warranty. https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/video/mol/2022/02/15/8466404119318672604/1024x576_MP4_8466404119318672604.mp4

I was just going to say this reminds me of the Puffnstuff film, then I googled it and found out why.

I saw a Pete. Where? There On the stair! Where on the stair? Right there...... A little Pete with clogs on, well I declare, going clip clippity clop on the stairs. Right there.

Seeing as today is 14th Feb

just cos it seemed interesting

No idea where to start even I suppose,

My mum found out she had a secret sibling somewhere in the UK. She told me she remembers her mum going away on a long holiday at the end of the war, so probably an American soldier was involved. She also found out she had a Greek step brother in Cyprus when her parents wills were sorted out after they died out there a few years ago.

Pete was a bit distressed over the whole incident.

That would be the ex girlfriends parents who live in Pwll Trap near St Clears. They moved there from Birmingham during the great drought of 1976. I think the rain in 1977 and then every year after was a bit of a shock. 'Allan the Gas' is knocking 80 now and still plumbing/gas fitting when the mood takes him.

Yes, I was thrown out of the RAF when they discovered I was only 5 years old. I think it was the ill fitting uniforms that gave me away (both feet in one boot). It was my Dad's second session in the RAF Police. He'd done it once as a National Serviceman when he was single and then joined up again a few years after when he was married. He was a dog handler, of course you have to sign a register if you get caught doing that nowadays.

Born in Hillingdon, but then spent 4 years in Germany, then to Dagenham in time to start school, now the northern part of Essex since 1997. I think my Mum's family came from the Peckham area originally (like Del Trotter) and my Dad's family are from a fishing/sailing river estuary village near Colchester called Rowhedge. Graveyard is full of Powells. My grandparents on both sides moved into the same road in Dagenham in the late 1920s and that was where my Mum and Dad met as children.

Stoke On Trent.

I'm sure we all keep old stuff around the place that should really be cleared up. https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/02/10/the-ruin-at-the-hairdresser/

You are just asking for this sunshine!
