What a lovely day you had Eileen and what luck you had meeting the owner of the house you were looking for!

"Amazing how music can transport you to another place. I’m in a Costa queue and they’re playing Ed Sheeran. So I’m going to Starbucks".

Long time since we had a post on this thread..........
Have been doing a bit of tidying up among my music related stuff of late and put a mini disc into the player with the title only of J Walker and the date somewhat obscured.
Have spent the last hour (having our tea at the same time) listening to a Friday Drivetime show. Music great, Martin Shankelman on the business (US dollar rate given as 1.66....) Mystery Voice not guessed at £70 and Cruisin' just about to start.
Great listening to Johnnie and Sally Traffic of course and the whole thing sounding almost too grown up even to be on on Radio 4............ O/H's comment 'that's what you need a bit of business chat and good music' if only those in charge would take heed..... Maybe I'll send them a copy to remind them of how good Radio 2 was then. It was summer and Wimbledon was starting the next week with Greg Rusedski still playing according to the sports guy.
H
PS Richard Allinson is off from Magic Drive this week doing breakfast instead hence my not having anything to listen to!

Reading your post,Helen, reminded me of a poster on the BBC TV board...Doghouse Riley....who was always railing against the lowering standards etc across the BBC. He was quite a lone voice back then. Thinking about it now he was ahead of the curve.  |

Listening to Richard Allinson tonight playing Temptations' 'My Girl' tonight and remembering seeing them live at the Talk Of The Town with my Dad while on a trip to London (I must have bribed him to see the Temptations !) then I realised that it's exactly 50 years ago, almost to the day. We were at the the catering exhibition which was at Olympia every January.......
Nice memory of my Dad.

Lovely,Helen.
I was in a little town next to the one I live in and bumped (literally) into a woman who used to live next door to me when I (and she) was a child.
Both big families we had lots of happy times together.
Seeing Margaret has had me smiling all day long, remembering those times so long ago. |
