Sorry I don't read the shout box. Rick hope you've got Thomas' link. I've got a query about Cleggy's house move. I think it was in the episode Das Welly Boot. Does it say why he moved and it implies he was renting the house as Pearl says something along the lines of 'they've refused you too'...

Did anyone else read the article last week about it being 10 years since LOTSW ended?

Watched it first time. Well worth a watch.

Yes my children and grandchildren attended welsh language schools so were taught all subjects through welsh from the age of 3.

No not my first language. This part of Wales isn't really a Welsh speaking area. West and north Wales tend to have more welsh speakers. However both my children and grandchildren and one brother can all speak it fluently.

I'm impressed with your Welsh response!

Wasn't he in the series Shoestring, based in a radio station in Bristol? I think it was a BBC production.

Sorry typing error - phone doesn't understand Welsh it should read 'Diolch yn fawr iawn i ti'.

Captain Clutterbuck - special thanks to you for the birthday poem and the greeting in Welsh. All I can say is 'Diolch yn fawr yn iawn i ti.

Dick I don't need any medication! I just conk out. Mind you the weather hasn't helped. Persistent rain! It's supposed to be drying up this week!!! Just watched a programme interviewing Tom Owen about his father. Very interesting plus plenty of clips of Bill Owen from his films in the 50s/60s.

Thank you all for wishing me a Happy Birthday a few weeks ago. Sorry but I haven't checked in for a few weeks. I keep falling asleep in the evenings when I have time to relax. Must be something to do with reaching 65!

Glancing through TV programmes for tonight I can see that Tom Owen is being interviewed. I think it'll be an interview to include his father's and his acting career - including LOTSW. Talking Pictures is on Freeview and Sky.

Quite a lot of articles in the newspapers today about Jean Fergusson. Including a nice one in the Herald Scotland. It states her family moved here to Wales where she studied drama. Good to know she has been recognised for her acting skills all these years.

So very sad. As you said Pearl Howard's two ladies.

Thanks.

Not long after his death, and after a newspaper article that appeared to play down family involvement in his life, I read a reply published in response to these comments from his grandson. I can't remember which newspaper now, but I remember Marianna checked it out when I quoted it. In reply...

Oh I see. Is that near to Sid's cafe?

I'm sure I read this week that Sid's cafe is up for sale. Has anyone heard about this?

Hello Terry. Just made my donation. Thank you for all your commitment to this Forum. And thanks to all the others who give their time in maintaining this Forum so well.

That's the one! Thanks for letting me know. One of my favourite episodes.
