@MinnesotaFan92 @SandyofSuffolk A great number of people in this country still had black & white television throughout the 70's & 80's. It was much cheaper than buying a colour TV licence. Fast food was the aforementioned Chippy or Chinese takeaway (plus only one other in my home town, a Canadian burger bar).

@SandyofSuffolk You had color TV and fast food, give me a break. I actually studied in Europe when I was in my teens and there was all of those things.

Just so you know. Boomers didn't have fast food. Except fish and chips. Boomers didn't have ready meals. Except Vesta beef curry. Look it up. Boomers didn't have colour TVs, front loading washing machines, central heating or holidays abroad. Boomers didn't have babymoons or baby showers nor did they go on stag or hen weekends. Boomers didn't go to restaurants. Except on birthdays. Boomers didn't have new clothes every year, every season. They made do and mended. But Boomers had a fabulous time in the 1960s to 1980s because people were friendly, respectful, dignified and hardworking. Boomers also had law and order and a judiciary who punished ALL criminals. Boomers were happy with their lot. Yes. I'm a Boomer. Just so you know.

@GregScottTV @woodg31 I’ve been coming back to this clip ever since you posted it. There’s something about the backing tune & Max’s intonation that is wonderfully nostalgic. Star-studded shows of Christmas nights from years past always seemed to have songs with a slight touch of melancholy. Fabulous.

@GregScottTV @woodg31 This is fantastic. On reflection, Max Bygraves deserved so much more air time back then. How I miss those days of straightforward television watching.

From the days before we had Have I Got News For You… Max Bygraves on Jimmy Tarbuck’s Christmas All-Stars (1983). Here’s the grand old man of showbiz (Who was probably younger than I am now, here) giving it to the establishment.

@Jan_Leeming I was taken aback last year when visiting Durham cathedral to see people freely walking around the aisles and chancel while drinking takeaway coffees. Total lack of respect.

Lack of respect. Ann Treneman Notebook in Saturday Times. Examples - extremely sad. Some years ago I was on duty and in the crypt. Politely asked a young man not to take photos. He aggressively eye balled me and I thought he would hit me - not nice.

@JamesAHogg2 This is a brilliant sketch, with a line and an intonation that I often use when recalling something somewhere between 40 & 45. I find this incredibly funny because somewhere in the dim & distant past I have encountered such characters speaking precisely the same way.

The great Paul Whitehouse is 68 years old today, which means I am obliged to post this (again!) - arguably the most majestically random but brilliant comedy sketch committed to celluloid for at least the last, what, forty, forty five years? Yes, forty, forty five years. Happy birthday Paul 🤘

@altrinchamhq I'm still doing it. Got to 3rd row and no luck, and what's left is really tricky. So I came to see if you'd completed yours. I'll come back to it later
