RONALD Pillsworth, Marina's first love in "Afterthoughts of a Co-op Manager."

Marjorie. (politely spoken, then shouted by Seymour, into his automatic front door opening machine)

Jessop, (Francine). Blamire said he never went near her sand pit in the episode "Hail Smiling Morn, or Thereabouts." Series 1, episode 6.

D'uh! That's me slapping my head. Thanks for the translation.

Yes, I saw what you were doing. I remember the Cockney accents of Miss Brahms and Mr. Harmon on Are You Being Served. Mr. Harmon once said "argy-bargy" and I had to Google the phrase. I love regional dialects in the US and the UK and I'll always be sorry I couldn't study linguistics in...

It's a good thing this conversation was in print. If it had been spoken - by a native Brit, there is no way I would have been able to understand. When I listen to some dialects, I have to infer from what's going on to piece together what is being said. A good example: I have never been able...

A friend told me this joke years ago, and claimed that it was shared with her at a MENSA SIG (Special Interest Group) Meeting. Since that time, I've always thought the people who tell this joke were insiders of this super-intelligent elite group. Thanks for the smiles. I understood all of...

If anyone hears of this complete set being sold again - especially at this price, please let me know. Even with shipping to the US the cost would be worth it. I recently bought one of the 4 episode Christmas specials, and love it.

Hello, RickAns, I had a devastating accident a while back, and have been holed up in my house for quite some time. Just now venturing out...

Hi, I'm next door to you in Indiana!

Hello, after all this time. I am not a regular, and it has been months since I last logged in to this site. Years ago, I had a pen pal who lived in Northamptonshire. We met through Girl Scouts (US)/Girl Guides (UK), and I still have her address. She abbreviated her location as Rushden...

Sorry, I went back to the main page and found the link. Donation has been made, and once again, thanks to you all for being so helpful.

Hello, it has been a while since I last logged on. Everyone here has been so helpful since I joined the forum, I would be happy to make a donation if you would send me a PayPal link.

...for those abroad or unable to make the walk I thought I'd share just a few photos,Pete. Thank you!

Looks like my photos didn't show up. I'll try again. P.S. Today's temperature is 1 degree F. I'll let you figure out the equivalent Celsius.

It's 14 degrees F (minus -10 degrees C) in the frozen tundra I call home. Did I mention that I hate snow and cold weather?

Thanks for the video. Special commercials, like this one, are only aired locally once each year. There is usually a compilation of international commercials which have gained some merit/notoriety, so I never have a chance to see your TV ads.

Happy New Year from the frozen tundra of Midwest America that I call home. Right now, it is 16 degrees F, (-8 degrees C) which is quite balmy, and up from 6 degrees F (-14 degrees C). Everyone on this forum had been so kind, and forthcoming with information about one of my all-time favorite...

Father Brown is a good program. I watched seasons 2, 3, and 4 that were broadcast here. The new season (Season 5) started last night. Season 1 never aired. I have to watch the season 5 episodes online through my PBS membership because it is on too late for me to watch, and I no longer have...

Sadly, there will be no more episodes of "Last Tango in Halifax." The two-part Christmas episodes will be aired in the US on Dec. 17 and 24, and then it will be over. This is the same program that aired in the UK last year - and we (in the US) had to wait all this time, just to learn it will...
