I don't want to use this forum to put down other forums, but this one seems so user friendly. I read recently that fellow forum member also spends time on the Keeping Up Appearances forum. I was very intrigued by this and I joined. However, registration was quite a hassle as I had to keep re-entering. And when I finally got in I found the screen layout to be confusing. In reality, I don't know how a forum can run on a show that lasted 6-7 years. One asset about Summer Wine that I always mention is that it lasted 37 years. A lot of different eras and cast members offer so many topics. Oh well.
The unfortunate thing about the KUA forum not working for me was that I was so proud of my user name, Porky Hughton. He was one of Clarke's character names that never made a physical appearance. He was a golf buddy of the Major. To me that name is just classic Roy Clarke! If not my user name would have been "The Commodore". Anyway, I really only have time for one forum and I neglect a lot of work due to this joy.
I may be one of the least knowledgeable of the Summer wine Forum regulars here, but I learn from the experts. However, this Christmas I might really try to get Andrew Vine's book as well as Allan Bell's new book. Then I might join the "expert circle".
So Terry, you are changing the opening entry questions to this forum. I must tell you I almost failed the entry a while back due to your one question, first name of the shop owner. It stumped me because I view Auntie as a nickname or term of endearment but not a first name. However, I figured it out the second time around.
