Nici Wickes, who endeared herself to me when she said it is a waste of time making your own pastry as there are so many good ones in the freezer shop! And also Delia Smith. I have her original, 'How to Cheat at Cooking' from the seventies, a great book. Both of these ladies are fun to watch and...

I was never sure if I liked Martin, or hated him. I loved Howard and Hilda though.

I am sure you are right Susan. I don't have the tea set, but I do have Christmas Wall Plates in this pattern

That sort of remark makes me mad. I like her, but she is an entertainer after all, we are the ones who are doing her a favour watching her, not the other way round.

The above is very true. But then again we have been watching On The Buses in the afternoons, how they got away with that I don't know. The worst is thinking that we would believe that a sad old man like Stan Butler would get all of these dolly birds! I often wonder what my grandfather would...

If you are interested in canals and such like, yes it is well worth a visit. From the railway station it is a shortish walk along the canal to the Standedge Tunnel Museum. You can have a trip into the tunnel itself. This area was used as a location quite often. Marsden itself is the home of...

Happy Brithday to you.

We were watching 'A Foreign Field' last evening. One of Mr Clarkes better efforts (they are all good, but this is very good) a film made for the BBC. The cast list is impressive. Alex Guiness, Leo MacKern, Jeanne Moreau, Lauren Bacall and Geraldine Chaplin. A mixed group of people meet up at the...

I am truly sorry but I didn't understand that. I thought that the original question meant the building opposite Cleggies place, which is the Red Lion.

Oh good! I love being right for once. It doesn't happen often in our house.

I may be wrong of course, but I think it is above the Digley reservoir. Also used in The Wild Blue Yonder episodes. I also feel that at some point it was renovated and turned into a posh dwelling.

I guess I am lucky. We live in a very quite part of Surrey. We don't get too many buses, but they do run, and are mostly full of old folk who are no real bother. I do have a bus pass as well. I have never had a train that didn't come, but I don't use them much.

I am sad to hear that. They did a great Sunday Lunch

More complicated that I thought then.

We stayed at The White Horse, some years ago. The bedroom were very nice, but the rest of the pub was a bit shabby. They seemed to feed the dogs in the bar, which I thought was a bit strange. The Old Bridge is fine. The best we ever stayed at was Dunford Bridge, just outside Holmfirth. It was...

As a general rule, our British cities have a Cathedral, there are exceptions, but does this apply in the US ?

It is sometime difficult to remember, but was the Old Bridge an hotel when Clegg and Howard lived above the church? When we first visited it was just a 'gentlemans residence'.

Most of the pilot episode was filmed in the Beamish Open Air Museum. And yes the Co-Op is in Netherthong. I have a good photo of my husband sitting outside.

Sunderland is one of the newer Cities as I remember. The ones that don't have a Cathedral. My aunt was in Sunderland on a very wet day recently. She is nearly 90 and a heavy smoker. She was passing a pub with a covered in smoker's place when a man popped out and invited her in. He and his...

Thanks Big Unc. There are some similarities.
