Any The Brittas Empire fans out there?

Ooops. Just watching now. Colin isn't Welsh .....

Thanks for this thread Grandmabatty. I've booked marked it now. I always loved the series.
Looking forward to meeting all the characters again - especially the accident prone Welshman with all the boils

It was every bit as daft as I remember!

Was it as good as you all remembered? I’d totally forgotten when he first arrived🤣

I loved the way Carole said ‘Mr Brittas’ , her teeth slightly clenched

Drama is Chanel 20 Musicgirl if you can get it live

I really enjoyed this programme years ago. I will look for it on UK TVPlay.

I loved it. Colin used to make me laugh just to look at him and how Carole used to say Mr. Brittas.

It would have fit the show

I could see you were joking about the word not the mistake and not at anyone's expense

Apologies Aveline, I didn’t realise that it was a joke.
I thought that you were picking up on a daft spelling mistake.

Hope we are ALL looking forward to the first episode this afternoon 🙂

I'm fed up.with people who don't see the humour in eg a baby in a raffle

I know for a fact that there are posters with dyslexia on here.
That is statistically inevitable, and I also know for a fact because posters have pmed me about their dyslexia.
One (a regular) told me that she is often put off posting because she is fed up with people commenting on her spelling.
There are also posters who have EAL who could be in the same position.

That’s not ‘sanctimonious’, is it?

OK. I'll start a new thread for sanctimonious pronouncements.

Actually, by FannyC.

The one made to me yesterday, not by you did bother me.
Totally unnecessary.

Anyway, rather than derail this thread any further, let's get back to the OP.

By you

Aveline, sometimes, it can be upsetting for those, who are already fragile, to have their errors picked up by posters. The comment made to me yesterday, did bother me.
It can on occasions, make people wary of posting. Worth bearing in mind and in my opinion, bad manners to do so.

I'm sure you meant it as a humorous comment, unfortunately it wasn't seen as that.

Forum police 😞

FYI forum police : the prospect of a raffled baby was well worth commenting on.

And I thought that it was an unwritten rule on here that it’s considered poor form to pick up on others’ errors

Yesterday, I was picked up on a grammatical error, after posting on another thread, yet I too thought it was an unwritten rule on GN. I can't understand why people feel the need to do so.

Some people can't help themselves.

I used to half watch the programme, back whenever it was last shown. Will watch it if I can find it.
I am more and more drawn to programmes of yesteryear nowadays. Too many things in newer programmes I dont like watching.

Shrug. Whatever

And I thought that it was an unwritten rule on here that it’s considered poor form to pick up on others’ errors

Typing too quickly Aveline
I don’t focus too much on SPAG on here

In the draw? Was the baby raffled?

As soon as I saw the title I thought of Carole and the baby in the draw.
Yes, it was brilliant. A bit surreal
