Hi everyone - I am 54 and from Cheshire.

Believe it or not I'd never watched Summer Wine until just a few months ago but I am loving all the older episodes showing on Gold. I love the excellent performance by Peter Sallis as the very much underrated Cleggy. He and compo were absolutely the perfect double act. Sad to see that many of the original stars have gone now but they are all giving me hours of enjoyment. I wonder if any of the cast visit this site.:respect:c:

Welcome to the forum, I hope you get to see all the episodes, I know there are 295 of them but there's nothing better to do

Welcome to you .We are crackers but we seem to get on pretty well together!!

Welcome to the forum! I almost envy you the pleasure of seeing the episodes for the first time. They still make me laugh, but the first time I saw each one, the humor was compounded by surprise.

Hello newtosummerwine, I am from the States in Tennessee, and have been a fan for about 3 years now. I have to say this is a great group of people and hope you enjoy the topics people bring to the forum. Love to hear input, and I agree that Compo and Clegg had something special didn't they. Great group of men. All of them.

It was a twist on the phrase perfectly sane Happyjack. Alongside the "smiley" I meant it tongue in cheek.

 

[happyjack]

No problem Dick just had not heard it before or have you just made it up.

 

[Elmc]

ferpeckly . . . it's how he speaks after too many hours in The White Horse.
