All good ideas ... now, all I have to do it make them!

My next video: Sunday 23 February 2025, 7:00pm (UK GMT) on my YouTube channel The UK's sitcoms loved by viewers, hated by critics

I have too many ideas and not enough time, but that's a definite possibility - especially as YouTube recommended to me "how the stars of SW tragically died" - showing images implying they all met a sticky end.

Many thanks to @Pearl and @Barrychuckle who kindly gifted the Summer Wine Country and Cartoon books, used for research and seen in the video.

I have driven - and been driven - through Lincoln many times, from home (where I lived) to "home" (where I was born), and never stopped there for a look round. There is now a - rather lacklustre - by-pass, but that hill was not easy for the car, especially as there was a set of traffic lights...

New video! This was due to come out about two weeks ago, but as some might have seen, the technology let us down - again! Lots more to come, although not Summer wine-related videos, but mostly still of interest I hope. So, make a note, Sunday 16 February 2025, 7:00pm (UK GMT) on my YouTube...

I remember the old days when us Europeans had an E111 card ... ahhh, those were the days.

As that's not a real police station and the notice board is only just "stuck" there - yes ... all from the props / art department! This building faces the rear of the "new" Co-Op, used in some later episodes when we see the back door and loading bay.

If you have any old fivers you don't want, I can find a home for them ...

Nearly .. I did have the foresight to re-speak some of the lines so I can over-dub if I make a snafu of any awkward words and names!

Well, actually ... yes ... there will be some in the video, suitably "bleeped"!

I had a short break from filming this afternoon, so turned off the radio mic, as the transmitter eats batteries. Recorded the next 6 shots without sound! :mad: Ahh, fishcakes!

Birmingham New St. station (the Black Hole) is free, but originally had turnstiles, so the entrances to most of the loos are large enough park an elephant. I'm tired, I can't think of a better ... thingummy.

"Luxury ..."

... and any of the places you miss will probably be in my video series on YouTube. But, some locations are not directly accessible from the road!

I live in a village, (moved from Brum last July) we do have a post office in a convenience store and a mini Co-op, but for a bank I think I'd need to go to MK, cos I don't remember seeing one in Stony Stratford. Oh, but I think the bank in MK Centre has closed ... ummm... My mobile is too old to...

Fortunately my "A" camera has two cards that simultaneously record... it was the card on the "B" camera that failed. There is a place for people like @mashibinbin ...

... cos I'm losing mine! Next, little, video will be delayed due to a camera memory card, ummm ... losing it's memory. Pete is going to try and recover the data from it. That worked before when filming on location with no possibility of a re-shoot, so fingers crossed!

You're more-or-less right. It's the same era... Home and Colonial Stores was once one of the UK’s largest retail chains. Formed in the late 1920s, they sold goods imported from European Colonies. In FOTSW, Co-Op manger when Mr Scrimshaw thinks the girls are giving excess butter in the packs he...
