Can't beat the Leonard Cohen version - one of my favourites of his - Sincerely L Cohen!

Was the shoe shop called Mansfield?

Brew. You're obviously an educated and very articulate person. Move on from your narrow opinion of Little Richard with his mascara - so what? (and the tinned carrots and peas!)

I'm amazed they're still available. I had plenty of them as a child, but would never dream of eating them now, and anyway I only ever liked the pastry. The only preparation is removing the lid!

I found some of it interesting, as CT says. I was expecting the reaction from a lot of you, though!

I could read well too, before I went to Infant school. I've only got one book I had as a child now - a book of poems for children, and my Mum had helpfully written the date I was given it - Christmas 1964, so I'd only just turned 8. I loved Little Women, although not so keen on Heidi, but I was a big fan of Bunty and loved Enid Blyton

That's great to hear Ben

I'm a big fan of Gigli too, and also Jussi Bjorling

Don't be sorry Mary. You did what you thought was best

I think I'd have asked her what evidence she had or what she'd seen or anything her daughter had said or done or any physical signs and then told her to report it to the police. You were in a very difficult situation, Mary

Oh Mary, I'm sorry you had to go through that -it must have been really scary. He deserved that kick

SG. You're not paranoid. Your list was spot on, and, I think, a significant proportion of women have had to know those things from being a young teenager and it's just been accepted that women have to change their behaviour for their own safety. A curfew for all men would be ridiculous, but it's been going on for so long, something has to change

BK. I don't know why anyone would want to listen to any of his views

I'm even later, but Happy (belated) Birthday Margie

85721. Used mainly by my Mum at Bracebridge Drive Co-op

BK. The 56 was my bus as well, but mainly in the late 60's and into the late 70's - perhaps you were elsewhere by then

Have ordered online a few times, but only from Sainsbury's who always seem to have available slots. Our "essential" wine orders have always been from Majestic, who are good quality with a wide range

I don't eat meat and have never understood why people like me would want to eat something that looks like meat - I just don't see the appeal

I'm not related, but if the problem is not being able to find her birth or entries in the census 1851 onwards, do you have the marriage cert to Oscar, which should give her father's name, unless illegitimate

Wasn't he involved in the school library as well?

Yes, Alan, he was a nice man and a good teacher. I always thought of him as quite ancient, but when I was say 14, he was only late 30's!

There's a Death Notice in the local paper today for Cyril Jacob "former teacher of English at Bilborough College" He died on 28/1/21, aged 88

SG. I'm so sad to hear your news. It was obvious that you loved him very much and he loved you

The only one I haven't heard of is gorra bag on. My Mum and Dad often said most of the others on the list

Thank you, BK
