Well it shows you what sort of day i have had. Going back threw the years as you do some times
When i was a lot younger, and a lot of you will not remember the show, i was on the tv, black and white in those days.
It was called Take your Pick,, Michael Miles, Take the Money or open the Box, i should have taken the Money, i opened the Box and got a rubbish prise.
Nearer to home, i always listen to the radio, and phoned up a talk show last Sunday, as they had a Professor on, Cancer expert and was talking regarding having these one stop hubs about.
My next door neighbour got an invite for one, no symptoms or anything, he said a day out, he got diagnosis with lung cancer,
Last year my daughter had a problem with her breast, some thing was not right, trying to get in because of lockdown took her three weeks, and the nurse said you have no lumps, so what do you want me to do, Refer me was her answer, went and diagnosed straight away, and was told if you had to wait, for your first mammogram, it would have been to late, She is still not due for her first mammogram that is November time,
Though she has had them since she was diagnosed after a mastectomy , Hence why i phoned up.
Have a good day Ellie x
Hey ellie, I remember Take Your Pick. Was that the one where a man came on and banged a gong if you ran out of time??? I bet it was an experience though, even if you didn't come away rich.
Glad to hear that your daughter went with her gut-feelings and pushed for a referral. Your story resonates with many I'm sure.
Hope your trips down memory lane have made you smile. Hugs. Rainie x
You are right Rainie. Man with the bong bonged you if you said yes or no. Ellie must have got through, turned down thousands, opened the box and won a packet of crisps!
I don't wish to insult Ellie but I won't be asking her for any racing tips!
Her two experiences with both her daughter and neighbour show you have to make a big noise to be heard. If you don't then bad news could easily follow?
Anyone else been on telly?
Not sure about thousands, five pounds was a lot in those days lol.
Forget to tell you i an a clairvoyant, so will not give any tips or lottery numbers.
Take Care Ellie x
You are a better comedienne than you are at choosing a box!
You lost at the box choosing game but you put an funny comment about being a clairvoyant.
I didn't come on her to be interrogated just because you have been on telly. My arm with a rat in my hand was on telly for a Bananarama video. How about that for a claim to fame?
Excuse me how do you know, it was not a funny comment did it for years.
I give up, knew I would lose this exchange. No harm meant, Mrs Ellie.
I could tell you was going to be trouble, it was written in the cards.i say no more.
