Hello all,

Mr P and I sometimes watch this when we go through to the sitting room after supper.

The commentary/voice over is by Tim Wonnacott, and what a pretentious (bleep) he is!

Pronounces "Gloucester" as " Glorster" this evening referred to someone whose name was Malcolm as "Molcolm"

But the most annoying thing is his inability to maintain what he seems to think is an upper class diction.

One minute it's "orf" (funny, I thought they were a type of goldfish confused) the next it's "off"

Yes, I know before anyone says, it's not important, if that's all I have to worry about etc etc

But it takes your mind off (orfe) the ‘Beam me up Scotty’ bathroom dilemma! ?

Auntieflo grin Sadly, I feel it won't be a dilemma, but just something that I dream of!

Ds1 and I always used to laugh at him on Bargain Hunt and imagine that he really speaks like Danny Dyer.

Oh Phoenix I know. How we do dream!
Peter Seabrook, gardener, remember him from a BBC lunch time programme?, aeons ago, made a bubble water feature from a millstone. I so wanted one, but it never happened.
But now!!! I have made myself a pond in a bowl. Taa daa.
Big dreams, small but happy happenings
