All these names and talk of hairnets..... You have to admire women who can kill with a stare.

It's funny to me nowadays when I see a stylish young hair cut in front of me, coupled with young birds fashion clothing and when they turn round they either look like Ena Sharples, Margaret Rutherford or Minnie Caldwell. What's that all about?

Was it a straight Advocaat, or a 'Snowball'? I reckon people only ever drink 'Snowballs' at Christmas!
And what about you granny, when you were going out in the Sixties? Bet you were more of a 'Babycham' kind of girl. There seemed to be far less choice for lady drinkers back then. Could be wrong but apart from Babycham the only other ones I can remember were 'Cherry B', and 'Pony'. Yep, straight Advocaat with a cherry on a stick. I don't think they'd heard of snowballs-- as a drink. Rum and black in the very late 60's. So sweet it took the taste of the rum away but we had to look cool didn't we? Then things deteriorated for a little while after that, tried everything!

Going back to what Bandy was saying, When my granny came a calling, our Fido a prototype pitt bull would hide under the sideboard, the cuckoo refused to come out of his clock and the milk turned sour a day earlier, these were formidable women unlike the dolly bird grandmothers that children run rings round today.

That's one thing that really was better, jokes were jokes, short and sweet and not essay's that by the time you got to the end of it you lost the will to live. Does alternative comedian just mean crap.

It was a Monty Python sketch about hardship in the early days. Very funny. :-)

At this point of time in the 1960's, the Christmas cake was baked and decorated, the plumb pudding ready and waiting containing tiny treasures, a small bottle of rum to make the rum sauce. The turkey had just come in from the cold (in some cases being plucked), the sack of potatoes that kept for what seemed like months, was in the outside shed or washhouse (untouched by mice,rats or slugs). The mince pies were being made on the day, sometimes with homemade mincemeat and the children were behaving! Where would we be today without Tesco, Savers, Asda, Sainsbury's, Waitrose to name some and of course the tv, dvd's and game systems to keep the children occupied? As I write I hear the mother of four next door having a blow-out at her children.Incidently, the children are having a blow-back at her. That NEVER happened! Happy Christmas and enjoy your Cherry B, for old times sake if nothing else.

Cherry B, wow, that takes me back. I remember it as being unpleasantly reminiscent of Antussin cough mixture...
