A visit to the dentist. Do we still write letters? Weird storms. There's plenty to chat about in this week's Midweek Message.
British Etiquette and good manners. Queuing properly in shops respecting elders. Have those days gone? Opening a door for a lady. Offering a lady a seat on a bus or train. Do you still do that?
It's that time again. In this message, I talk about equality for women. Would you give up your seat on a bus or train for a woman? Do you hold doors open for women? Please, join me for a chat.
Lots more to chat about in this episode. Furniture then and now. Trains with no corridors. Getting old. Experience of life. Deliberate mistake. YouTube shorts videos. Please, join me this Sunday.
We're getting well into February, spring is on the way! In this episode, I talk about modernising old houses and de-modernising (is there such a word?) new houses. Old kitchen sinks, fireplaces and loads of other stuff!
In this episode, I take a look back at houses and bungalows in the 1950s. The tiled fireplace and hearth rug in the lounge, Formica worktops in the kitchen along with stainless steel sinks with Supertaps... happy days!
Find the deliberate mistake in this week's Midweek message. Washing powder and carpet beaters in the old days, trains, clocks, sweet shops and loads more stuff. Please, join me.

Apologies for my many not deliberate mistakes! Speaking the King's English. Butlin's! Village tales and more...
Holidays back in the old days. Fly to Spain or go for a caravan in the New Forest? Lost villages, no school, no police house, no vicar... No village! Bicycles and cars on pavements and more...
I remember a lot of rude old shopkeepers back in the old days. The Swap Shop was fun, swapping marbles for toy cars or whatever. Join me for this week's Midweek Message.

It's that time again. What shall we talk about? My grandmother back in the 1950s eating a chicken carcass covered in flies? A bowl of dripping with files all over it? No, no... Let's talk about deliberate mistakes, seagulls eating your sandwich on the seafront, the New Year, spring time and loads of other nice things.
Between Christmas and the New Year. Christmas is over. We've done Christmas Eve, Christmas day, Boxing Day... Now, we only have the New Year to see in. And then, it's time to look forward to the spring!
Happy Christmas 2025!
Christmas eve! We're almost there! Are you ready for the big day? I think we are. I shall be sitting by the coal fire this evening with Tricia. A glass of mulled wine and toasted tea cakes will be nice. Happy Days!
