They are still around, just not so numerous, a while back I had to give directions from one from Bury who was trying to find somewhere in Stockport....

As far as I know Morphy Richards are still around, they used MK plugs with their logo moulded into the cover of the plug.

I was just thinking that in the days when plugs were not included with electrical items, Morphy Richards (are they still going?) used to boost in...

I always went home for dinner when I was at school (which I wasn't if you think about it), hence being 30 seconds late for afternoon lessons....

I have been watching old episodes of Nearest and Dearest on YouTube, and it's interesting to see in some episodes there were some female "one episode...

I used to make jokes about my mother fancying doctors as well - ironically, one of her friends had the initials GP which I made jokes of straight...

I do have access to the online Times Digital Archive and so I get my information from there. Of course, the films might not have been shown at the...

I might let you know. One thing about the forums on there is the "tabloid" feel that they have, and that is another reason why I probably wouldn't...

I might use a different user name (my original one was not the same as the one on this forum), but I would hazard a guess that someone with a good...

I am very sorry to hear that you were abused as a child, Victoria - it must have taken a lot of courage to even write that on here. I know from...

It's like how Who Wants to be a Millionaire? won't even allow a contestant on the show if they have been fined for something minor. Just shows you...

YT has quite a few old editions of Crimewatch online and I saw the one from 1989 which had the reconstruction of the murders that Cooper did. ...

The Mrs Merton and Malcolm sitcom from the late 1990s also springs to mind, where unlike Mr Bean, the programme did have one or two complaints about...

I do sympathise considering that I have Asperger Syndrome myself, but I think that in the long run, Mr Bean is an affectionate way of looking at...

I remember my Gran didn't like Mr Bean because she thought it was making fun of the mentally challenged.

Perhaps, but I have got bad memories from when I was there back in 2006 - I vouched never to come back after something happened over there. I suppose...

Just looked on the IMDB and saw that it was "stuntwoman" Tina Maskell who played the Queen (credited as: "The Royal") - one would have thought that...

It made me think whether the Carry On films were so called because of Admiral or whether that was just a coincidence?

I was a member of DS many years ago but had to leave because I couldn't got on with people on there - they do cover such a lot of ground however.

Of course, it wasn't the real Queen in the episode, but a Caroline Aherne-alike actress playing the part where she was unharmed - there seems to be a...

Or Continental European... ;)

I've still got some TV Offal on VHS somewhere in my collection.

I remember toy cars made by non British companies were normally left hand drive.

I've not seen it but the last season was apparently "tacked on" when the previous series had wrapped up most of the plot, & tellingly Jakey Smith was...

The definitive goalkeeper. If you read George Layton's short story The Fib, Banks gets an honorary mention - I am certain that the character Gordon...

The scenes when Adrian accidentality glues a model Spitfire to his nose had my Dad laughing his head off.

It was also scary when he fell over at the end of the credits.

I knew that one...

An episode was seen on Christmas Day in 1992 which seems unbelievable considering the fact that I thought it had not been seen since the 1970s. I...
