Ask the Person Below You a Question: Thread Four! Countdown to C********! ?

No, but I record series I like, Miss Marple, Poirot, First Dates, Gogglebox.

Trapped in a lift for an hour, choose one person to be with
(James Mason, young and alive?)

Bob Mortimer for his daft sense of humour.

Did you enter competitions on Blue Peter when you were young? Or win a Blue Peter badge?

Yes and yes. Funny how my artwork went unappreciated in school though.

Do you have a question please Mollygo ?

Sorry.
There are people who walk past our house on a regular basis and have done since first lockdown, but the number has dwindled.
Do you think there are fewer walkers now than during lockdown?

Definitely! Our house is on a road on route to three small parks.
During lock down it was like Oxford Street at Christmas!

Whose speaking voice do you like?

Nigel Havers

Same question to someone else?

I like Sean Connery's voice, so deep and manly.

Does it feel like Autumn to you today?

Male: Roger Allam (swoon)
Female: Juliet Stevenson

(That is the definitive answer Tilly, no one else need answer!)

Definitely feels like autumn here. I had to use my Karcher window vac for the condensation this morning.

Do you have lots of art in your house? Paintings etc.?

Yes we do. Mostly Welsh artists and all original.

Are you vegetarian, or might you consider it?

While not officially vegetarian my diet is mainly fish and vegetarian dishes. I've always enjoyed vegetarian foods.
Do you have sensitive skin?

No, but now I’m getting older, I have dry patches which I never used to have.

Your drag name is your grandmother’s Christian name plus the last thing you ate?
(Amy Banana in my case)

Doreen Soup
Or
Margaret Cheese-Twists

(One sounds very working class, and the other more upper crust! )

And yours?

Elizabeth Peach!

What do you have for a typical weekday breakfast?

Mine is coffee, yogurt and toast

Mary Halloumi

Only eat breakfast at weekends , peanut and banana pancakes are a favourite.

How much is too much for an ordinary pair of shoes ? I’m thinking Toast here

I'd say £50 or 60 maybe for a decent pair of shoes - I'm probably terribly out of whack with modern fashionable pricing. I've never bought from Toast as I'm more of a Clarks woman or even supermarket shoes as long as they're comfortable. I'm mean as well and hate designer labels.

Have you ever been up the Eiffel Tower or similar? Did you find it scary?

Only to the first floor of the Eiffel Tower and didn’t find it scary. However, I did go the the top of the World Trade Centre not long before the tragedy. The very thought now is scary.

Have you ever owned a tortoise?

No, but I quite fancy having one. I don’t think they are too much trouble.

Name something that a lot of people like, but you can’t stand.
(In my case, soap operas)

Got one for the children when they were young - sadly , he didn’t live very long .

Juliet, I was watching wall to wall coverage of 9/11. I can’t imagine what it must be like for you and others who have been there to watch those documentaries !!!

Question: Do you feel scared every time you enter a lift ?

Holly to answer your question: Summer, eggs, socialising (so please don’t invite me to a Summer Egg Party!)

Re lifts. Yes, I suppose I do feel scared.

I’ll share a lift story with you ( hold onto your hats!)
I recently went to the hospital and it said on the lift doors - ‘only two people allowed’.
So I’m happily (well, just a little bit scared) standing in the lift on my own (mask on), the doors are closing, and just before the doors shut, a family of three open the doors and march in (masks off).
So I walk out of the lift, just as quick.
And they gave me a right dirty look!

What’s on your bedside table?

Lamp, clock, radio and panic alarm for the security system

When was the last time you cleaned behind your fridge?

I cant remember!

Not since we got it!
I wouldn’t be able to pull it out.
Out of sight, out of mind…
I know that we need to get a cleaner, but I’ve got to declutter first. It’s a never ending vicious circle.

Favourite hymn, or carol

Shine Jesus Shine -hymn
The Candle Song -carol , both by Graham Kendrick

Same question-my mind is still too dozy to think of a new one.

I vow to thee my country (because it was my mom’s favourite)
The Holly & The Ivy, because it’s about nature. I love it

Favourite thing on toast?
