    the letter

    Was Compo an ale drinker?

    My understanding from way back was the English glasses were marked on the side and held exactly a pint of beer up to that mark.The rest of the glass accommodated the head or froth.If they drank something like a pint of cider,lemonade,water or a beer that didn't froth much or not at all then then...

    The Mysterious Feet of Nora Batty

    From a personal point of view I would liked to have seen more of the characters like Sid,Wally and Wesley.I suppose though that the main focus was really on our three heroes and the others were mainly there to help the storyline along or for a bit of added interest and such.LOTSW had some...

    The Mysterious Feet of Nora Batty

    This is a Summer wine classic and one of my favourite episodes from the whole programme.One of the bits that stand out for me is the wonderful Joe Gladwin/Wally when sitting at the table in the pub."i'd have to stand there helpless.Helpless!.She could have the bloke mauled to death before I...

    foggy's house

    I think youll find that Cleggy actually moved twice.He first moved from a biggish detached house( that we see in earlier episodes like Hail Smiling Morn or Thereabouts,Small Tune on a Penny Wassail,etc.)to a house that seems to be opposite the clock tower.It sat among a row of a few other houses...

    Was Compo an ale drinker?

    Many years ago I tried a few of those non alcoholic beers but I always ended up with gut ache so just went back to soft drinks. As a kid I always enjoyed lemonade with a little bit of milk in it.One day I tried brown lemonade with powdered milk(Marvel) which actually frothed up and looked like...
