I am a Northern English gent. I grew up on quite a tough estate so I'll bite the slightly politically incorrect bullet and echo my own experience. Northern wives were and are fierce. My mam was the most gentle loving mam and I felt such...

Easy question, after discovering this marvelous cast of characters in their beautiful paradise why would I NOT watch Last of the Summer Wine?:)

I dunno, some of the wives were fierce!

I'll begin. I enjoy its simplicity and how it reminds me of my very simple untechnical childhood. I messed about on river banks, climbed trees and cracked a few bones via such activities. I'm not anti tech, but I am anti...

Most of the characters are really children in adult guise and I like daft innocent humour which SW has in spades. Also, there's probably a bit of nostalgia for a simpler time, helped by the wistful theme tune. Besides the physical gags...

My dad, from his early 40s he spent most the time in a lot of pain, has a little girl I'd seen him cry with pain and it was traumatising to see but every Sunday he'd watch Summer Wine and laugh so I used to sit next to him and watch it...

Not sure about this idea. How woke it will be.

Heard a story about two theatricals who were staying at an old fashioned B and B in Blackpool , twin beds shared bathroom sure you know the type. After they signed the register the landlady showed them up to the room and the left only...

That looks like a shoe for someone with really compressed feet!

I've tried 14 pints in one night to keep up with the Jonses. Probably why I had the problem I had. Now 4 years dry

I always thought it funny how some blokes think it a sign of manliness if they can drink a lot of pints. All it does is costs them a lot more than ordinary drinkers!

I have and yes it is by far the best . A few of the spoons up here were selling the Worthington's Creamflow for between 99p and £1.19 depending which one you were in , the Ruddles is always on and cheap in most spoons up here , some of...

Have you tried the Guinness 0%, I have to say it's the only decent alcohol free drink I've tried - I'd be hard pressed to tell it apart from the real thing! I was at my local 'spoons the other week and the guest beer Ruddles was £1.79...

Only place, the Guinness is £4.18 , I was out at an ordinary bar at the Coast yesterday and it was £6.70 and seen it at £7 is a couple of bars in Newcastle City Centre plus all prices will rise next week for sure . Rich man's sport.:eek:

14 pints would be rather expensive these days
