Hello everyone.
My names David I'm from Derbyshire but currently live in Sheffield.
Lurker on the forums but thought to sign up and see what I could contribute or not.
I work within adult social services as an assessor - cor blimey id loved to have assessed our beloved group of oaps!
I came to lotsw by way of my grandparents, they watched it in an evening when I would go there for tea with them.
Then i discovered them on tv myself and watched any episode I saw scheduled.
Personally the show was amazingly therapeutic. I bought series 1-6 during a particularly low point in my life everyday was a struggle not to end it all. But the innocence and humour helped me pull through those dark times.
My favourite character (if pushed to choose) is Foggy. His war stories are hilarious, his get rich schemes preposterous and his luck with ladies laughable.
I have a real fondness for those early series and consider this the peak (series 4-8) but to me the series never tired and it is just my most favourite Tv ever.
My first memory of summer wine is an early episode. I watched it at my grandmothers perhaps 20 years ago maybe more. At the time of writing this I can't remember the title of the episode but it starts with a flower (perhaps lavender type) in a jam jar on a table. At least I think that's how it starts anyway - it could be the "some enchanted evening" episode where Compo asks for the song to be played for Nora but I may also be mixing episodes up.
As for holmfirth I've still yet to visit I do intend doing so and will use the location map as a guide although sadly I'm aware some of the locations for my favourites scenes and skits may no longer look anything like they did.
So in a nutshell that's me. Thank you for this wonderful forum and hopefully I'll speak and contribute alongside you all.
Best regards
David
