Were they really old chaps who went about shouting "Old Iron". I thought it was just a song!

Thinking about it, ours used to mumble something that ended in "rag..bone!"


Exactly.

His voice was ok. it was just the songs....And I think he was more suited to the 60's really.

I do as well. I don't really remember his music. Neither my mum or dad played him. My mum used to drive me mental with Abba. I now quite like them, and when she's fully over his replacement hips, I'll take her to the Abba thing in London.

Don't think so. OSP isn't an A to A fan - I gave up on it at one point as well.

I might watch it myself then - I would like to see how much it follows on from this one. Why don't you like it, OSP?

Val Doonican etc were better than what was before them. With the possible exception of Dixon of Dock Green. OK, goodnight.

It took everything I loved about LoM, tore it up, stamped on it, did something worse on it, then 'explained' everything and took away the magic. But don't let me put you off...Grin

I rather like the explanation, personally. It was the idea that the sctual 70s were like this that annoyed me.

The bookmakers they drew aside, and all committed suicide, the day Delaney's donkey won the [can't remember this] race.
