Wow JJJ, bringing back the memories. Even as a young 'un I struggled with that show. The lady who was hosting always seemed to be a bit patronizing to me. What was she like in real life?

Ha ha, be blowed if I can remember what she was like. This was nearly 45 years ago. LOL
I was only there for the glass of milk and biscuit and to sing the Astronomy song.

"Bend and stretch
Reach for the stars
There goes Jupiter
Here goes Mars
Bend and stretch
Reach for the stars
Stand on tippy toes
Oh so high".....

actually the horse song had a big impact on me too

"Ohhhh come with us and gallup
And gallup and gallup " ad nauseum.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad that I remember all the lyrics to these songs.

Gee all you people dropping names.
I would love to tell you about all the people I met and things I did but I had to sign the official secrets act to get my level six clearance.

Knowing people is an official secret? Should I stop admitting to having met people?

[Barrykgerdes]

Thats my excuse for not knowing any names to drop.

Has anyone else got one of these.

Barry

Has anyone else got one of these.

But did they let you in??????

Andrew

[Barrykgerdes]

Of course
You should have seen the VIP treatment we got in our car going through Edinburgh. Police stopping all traffic to let me through.

There were 5 afternoon tea marquees. I had strawberries and cream in each.
Didn't feel too well on the way home though!

I haven't got one of those, that's a beauty but I do have a letter and a booklet
signed simply ' Elizabeth R ' in a box somewhere.

[Barrykgerdes]

I have another one, the other way around having people wanting to meet me!

It happened this way:
I was with mum and brothers and sister in Cairns. We took a ride to Green Island. I found a nice spot over the other side of the island with my girl friend......... Lost all idea of the time and when we headed back we were just in time to see the ferry 50 yards off the end of the wharf on the way home. We ran down the wharf and the skipper took pity and came back.

We got on board (quite red faced) and everyone wanted to talk to us. We were now celebrities!

[Kunama]

Very lucky Barry, they don't usually turn back, but I guess being a celeb. an all they couldn't go without you.
