This is really the first I've hear Bill Owen speak at length. Good interviewer too, very relaxing in an at-home setting. Interesting, insightful and heartbreaking all at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
I don't think Wesley would be allowed to touch the dishes as Clegg, Compo, Seymour and Howard would have to clean them over and over again trying to get the grease and oil off them.
I am quite surprised that Pearl let Howard stand...
Nora, Ivy and Pearl wouldn't hesitate to clear up. At every party there's the usual group that just do it automatically and those that disappear to the bathroom.
It's usually a good laugh being the kitchen with other woman washing up...
Auntie would set our erstwhile trio to work and she would charge them for the privilege. It would be a particularly disheartening task for Mr Utterthwaite as everytime he thought it was over he would see more to do! :D
I thought the TV Schedules were superb this year, A Tale of 2 Sweaters, Father Christmas Suit (KUA special), The Two Ronnies & a Carry On Film.
That said, that was my own viewing schedule, not that of the TV companies :08::08::08:
Just paid absolute bargain, I've also paid yours too Terry it's only fair you get a free year for all the work you do!
Hopefully some other generous soul on here will cover Tony's too :)
These are fast becoming a real mixture of output from those currently in vogue to those that are long overdue, Mr Clarke's was both well deserved andmuch later than it was merited, have a healthy and happy 2026 everyone! :)
