    Put some additional bars around the bird tables to keep the gulls and woodpigeons off, and removed a load of brambles in preparation for the great garden makeover.

      Actually, I agree with you all (except that she's too old for Brinkly!!)

    If I see the word "doyen" used again to refer to the first member of a class I'll scream!

      Wouldn't "denizen! be a more appropriate word that doyen?

      Well it's better than 'prototype', which used to be the standard fallback

      I hate the self-service arrangements with a passion, but you should have seen the queues for the conventional tills! :-O

      It's called "continuity' - otherwise every other scene it looks like someone has changed their clothes...

      Which part of east Anglia was covered?

      One of the chaps in the FoD sub-forum on here has told us that he appears at the Dean Forest Railway at some point....

      Yes, wasn't F of D supposed to be sometime very soon? Very enjoyable programme. He has several coloured jackets and shirts by the way.

      Swimming pools were a long time ago - and yes, one of the best shows I've seen for ages, but book now in advance to avoid the queues.

      why don't you come up to Saltaire - his works are on display in a nice well lit gallery and there is never a queue. why go to London?
