Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK - Part II
Thank you Tina, we have a viewing tomorrow
I have just watched this hilarious clip from 1963 Dinner for One with Freddie Frinton, remember him? A curious thing: the germans show this every year on 31st December on every channel!
A nice way to celebrate a return home too for Jackie!

haha this reminds me of my sister, who was very very excited to show me her knew purchase ( in the kitchen I hasten to add) an AMERICAN FRIDGE! I of course to begin with did not know what the excitement was all about, until my SIL nudged me and whispered in my ear The Fridge.

So here is my question. If we had used another group would they have taken offense? Meaning, knock out the word 'Welshman' and use another group and I think people would jump on you really fast but we Welshmen can take it, right?
Cheers

When you go into his kitchen, you have to shimmy round it to get to the sink.

Oh god Rodney, you are so very brave, I look after old people for a job........ I try so hard to get them to part with old cans jars of food etc, but never have any luck, not allowed to sneak it in the trash and def. could do what you are......I think my mum would turf me out..........haha hope mum wasnt to mad.....you are very brave!

Rodney, I found in England nobody keeps eggs, sauces or salad cream in the fridge, I suppose they don't have to as the weather doesn't get as hot as we are used to. That's how my family know I am around as all of the above get put in the fridge plus jam, etc. as I go on auto pilot after 30 years living here.
Have you noticed how small the fridges are?

Strange that. I've been thinking of this in the last few weeks and I was going to quote the little I remember of it but then I thought noooooo.

I completely missed Jackie's flight - I can't believe it!!! I was all prepared to track the plane when a friend called who needed help. Goodness, how did the flight go without me tracking it?!

Re: OVER 50's & 60's MOVING BACK TO THE UK - Part II
Your right about that, the not parting with old food. My Nana (and Dh's grandma both) used to feed us out of the larder when we were little (think 60's and 70's) they were war rations, in cans we didn't know what some of it was till it was opened, no labels
