Pam Ayres

have shared Merlot's video on FB. Love it.

Thanks merlot fantastic.

I had brought one of Pam Ayres books a few years ago , it was the first autobiogrphy she did.
I used to work at the same place as Pam in the 60`s for the MOD ,and recall doing one day a week college for public secor workers in Oxford at the Oxford College of further education in cowley rd.
I wrote to her once she became famous, whilst in middle east via BBC Radio Oxford as she did a show on it , and she replied saying that she semed to know myself.
Gather she lives near Worcester these days.
And not her home area of Standford in the Vale near Wantage.

hmm hmm! sunflower and sook, getting a little cheeky there.

Flower I always thought there was something fishy about you I love Pam Ayres her 'Wayne' is a special favourite of mine.

She was talking about her fairly new GS this morning so I wonder if she's "one of us"

Flower - would be funny if she dos a new poem soon, mentioning haddocky smelling women - just the sort of thing she'd write about!

She was on Radio 2 this morning, the Graham Norton Show. Worth listening on iplayer if you missed it.

If you are a twitter user, she's also on that!

yes, I agree, she does seem like a very warm and friendly person. heard her talking on radio 4 a few months ago and realised that she comes from a village only about 4 miles from my village, which I didn't know , that's Stanford-in-the -vale it used to be in Berks, but since mid 1970's we are all in Oxfordshire, when they moved county boundaries.

Brilliant Merlot !

This is priceless

And so true!

Pam is brilliant

My mother had a Flit gun
it was devoid of charm
a bit of Flit shot out of it
The rest shot up her arm! one of my favourites

Me too (while reciting 'Oh I wish I'd looked after me teeth')!

Talking about penguins, has anyone had a wizz-bang?

phoenix of course I added penguin - who doesn't?

What! You added penguin to your fish pie Flower ??!! How, er um, novel?



Just shows how punctuation can alter a meaning! Off to bed soon, but chuckling!

I hope she didn't notice penguin

Oh how lovely, what a bargain too. I do love Pam Ayres. She is so funny and generous to her fellow contestants on Just a Minute. Some guests seem to get cross if they are not having so much air time as others.
I think she would have loved your haddock story Flower she may have used it in a future poem.

It is called You Made Me Late Again. Very funny as usual.

Great, Flower. I really like Pam Ayres. Must look for this book, as I have a few of hers that I have enjoyed.
