Hi All. This sort of thread happens in other groups and works quite well so I thought I would give it a go here, especially now some people are shielding and isolating again. Just general chat away from the usual medical things where people can just talk.
So, I went out for a quick pint earlier to Wethers for the first time since the local restrictions came in to force this week. Greeted at the door and had to give details. Asked if I wanted a drinking table or an eating one. Drinking, of course. The eating section, you had to have table service only. I was taken to a single table. The drinking tables, you order at the bar and then drinks are brought to your table. Last orders 9.30 and all out by 10. All very organised and for someone who likes their own company it suited me fine. I was hoping to hear a nostalgic bell and the shout of "Last orders Ladies and Gentleman please", but it was all a very sedate leaving. Best wishes
Lady Isobel Barnett - and wasn't David Nixon on it too? Can't help thinking it was panel of posh people with the mimes done by blue collar workers...
We used to enjoy the radio quiz 'Many a slip' - hardly anyone would understand that these days.
My Brother and I still use the divi number as a greeting in our phone calls .
Crusty ladder, you forgot the Goon show.
Used to love Sundays on the Light program after dinner (dinner time then was what we now call lunchtime)
