I had margarine (revolting) and Anchor (too greasy) as a child. Only Lurpak for me now, but also like President and other good quality French butter

Oh Nonna, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum, but I'm pleased you saw her finally, although it wasn't in the best of circumstances. Losing your Mum, as I well know, is just so difficult and so sad

Having worked in France for a while and had lots of holidays there over the last 30+ years, I developed a liking for goats cheese. When I gave some to my Mum, she thought it was just like Colwick cheese. Goats cheese in France is often unpasteurised, and haven't noticed huge numbers of deaths from eating it

I'm so sorry to hear this, Ben

Tony, you need to give some idea of dates please (of birth, death and who they married and when, if you know)

Bit late to this, SG, but Happy Birthday anyway

Sending you a message AG

Nonna. I do hope your Mum will be OK. Take care

We went to see Richard Thompson a couple of years ago - don't know why. SO boring that we left after about 30 mins

RR, your answer to 19 gave me a laugh

I have 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, No idea about the rest

Little Richard has always been one of my great favourites. Good Golly Miss Molly for me is the best, followed closely by Lucille

No, that would be Brian Ferry, CT!

That sounds reassuring, Nonna - I do hope they'll stick to their promise

I love that film too, Jill. We read Great Expectations for English Lit O Level, so we were all taken to see it, but I've watched it a number of times since. I'm not a great fan of Dickens but I love that book, my favourite line being about Bentley Drummle "he was so sulky a fellow that he even took up a book as though it's writer had done him an injury"
