Oh, Lord! I have vague memories of The Woodentops, Andy Pandy and the original Flowerpot Men. (I suppose it was too early for a link to Flower Power with a Little Weed.) I remember Hector’s House, but it was never a favourite. I loved The Herb Garden, with Parsley the Lion and co. Some years ago a colleague nicknamed me Bagpuss because of my big yawns.
When I look back to these innocent lovely times remembering such programmes & despair of the new quite vulgar programmes inflicted on our children. I loved Hartley hare, what a sarcy little bugger!!! Tracey
In the days when the world was black & white and exotic diseases didn’t exist in Great Britain.
You were either “a bit poorly” or “dead”.
Or “under the weather” what?!!! My lovely mother in law still asks how I’m feeling “in myself” bless her Tracey
The Flumps!

They’re kicking off again!
Did anyone watch Armstrong & Ben whatsisname? BF at me again.
They did a variety of sketches which were so funny.
Its kicking off!Was when they played 2 cafeteria ladies and the customers asked for something they didnt like and the catch phrase wasIts kicking off!` and a fight would ensue.
As for The Flumps…if t`capfits, thee mun wear it!
Think they wore multi coloured sox. If they didnt, they chuffin well should `ave!

I also love the phrase from Morecambe and Wise;
They cant touch you for it!`
Just saying…

I think you have a secret spy camera in my house. How else would you know that Mr Flump has just purchased some multi-coloured socks from a well known retailer of hosiery and pants? Hmmm? (I of course disapprove of such frivolity in sockage being a plain coloured sock kind of woman!)

How about this then!
My 14 year old granddaughter is going on a school trip to India this year.
They will be going to a poor village, to help renovate a school. They are taking things to give to the children.
To help in this expedition, she has asked if I could donate certain items.
Included are …
Hand gel, soaps, readyspecs, and…
SOCKS!!!
So those poor cold little toes will be able to share in the joy of socks!
Innit wonderful!!!
So I’m off to the £ shop today!!!

What a lovely thing your Granddaughter is doing, how proud you must be! Wish her all the best, & God bless Tracey x
It just goes to show; if you want to get a head, get some socks.
Seriously though Poll, how can other people donate and support such an admirable project?
Best wishes,
Anthony
Hello sock fiends,
Just to let you know that there is a new consignment of bri-nylon socks due in next month from North Korea. They are great for all the family.
And when you take them off in the dark you can see sparks of static electricity. Enough to brighten up the most dreary of winter evenings!
Hurry!
All stock must go!

Oh what a shame, I’ve recently spent the family’s sock budget for this year. Otherwise I would have ordered at least a few pairs. They sound utterly splendid. And dual purpose too, so saving on the household electricity bill.

You could write to Blackpool borough council, a worthwhile addition to the illuminations maybe??
Or perhaps stockpile them till around November, then sell them at a hugely inflated price as Christmas socks / illuminations / Christmas tree lights. (Obviously with some kind of legal mumbo jumbo that means you’re not responsible if the house burns down!)
I tried that last November.
And did it work?
Or did you fall foul of the trading standards nonsense that means you are liable for people having their feet catch fire? Is that why you’re trying to foist them off on us this year? Hmmmm!
