Dear SimonM, since you posted The Bonzos Canyons Of Your Mind I have been transported back to my childhood whiling away the morning giggling like a naughty schoolgirl watching all the old Bonzos clips on YouTube. Big big thank you. "Yes, yes I kiss you perfumed hair, a sweet essence of giraffe.">:D

Anna, you're around the same age as me (well you're a couple of years younger, but we won't go on about that). I used to LOVE Button Moon!!! Fraggle Rock is best remembered for the theme tune!


Who could forget this hairy little chap (no sound on work PC, so not quite sure what you're getting here)?

Howards' Way was I think the Beeb's (feeble) riposte to "Dallasty" - even to including Kate O'Mara. But yes most of the acting was incredibly wooden...and no, I don't think I ever missed an episode either :))


Bergerac was great in its prime - gorgeous locations and that car! Jim had one or two really hot girlfriends too - but they truly flogged the cheval mort when they tried to relocate him as an ex-plod in Provence...

I used to love Jamie And His Magic Torch - great helterskelter. Music is pure 70s! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-B_FQKHQDYk&mode=related&search=


Cockleshell Bay was a lunchtime favourite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMX47NId3a8


Out of the various US programmes I remember Diff'rent Strokes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmfH1RsxWEc

A couple of bbc clasics When the Boat Comes In & Who Pays the Ferryman, but I can't find any visuals for this but I've got the Theme tune which I still love to this day.

There also used to be a prog back in 1969 that was called 'The Gnomes of Dulwich' but sadly no tapes survived a 70's bbc clearout!

fonson - good shout on Hill St Blues - one of the first shows where I realised not everything had to be fluffy entertaining


on another nostalgic note re: Dallas and Dynasty - my parents were soooo particular about making sure us kids never saw them I was convinced after several years that if I ever did see one it would be so full of outrageous nudity I would be a very happy boy


How disappointed I was...

I used to love Huckleberry Finn!!! It went on for ever though.


Sean I looked at those clips, and Box of Delights was definitely the one I was thinking of!!! Funny how you just have a fragment of memory for something. Every xmas I hear the first noel, and I think about that programme with the kid and the magic box, now I will know what I'm remembering. Cheers!

"fragments" is just the right word Keef - stuff that hasn't entered one's mind for years and years and then boom - "ooh yeah!"


But the flipside (and I don't know if this has happened with the clips) is the "magic" gets lost when you actually revisit them - I loved a program called "Children of the Stone" when I were a lad... happy day!... but when I saw it again years later - oh dear

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
