Remember reading about in English class at school in the 70s, called The Silver Sword , it was about a polish family being split up during the Germans raid on Poland, then they got reunited , anyone familiar with the book ?

@MRS B in the 70s we read them Tolkien books at school , I was always fascinated by those maps that were illustrated at the last few pages of the book , and look now Lord of the rings a box office smash , who would of thought that back in the 70s ?

@Jill Sparrow yer can have abit of our 37c Philippines sunshine if you like , I am british retired here , and I love it , don't miss the winter months of England at all , mind yer I am abit jealous of the summer and miss my glorious holidays in South Devon !

@Oztalgian sad to hear of Raquel Walsh, Brigitte Bardot was also a stunner !

Best way I ever cut our overgrown jungle , was when I was a young horse groom in the racing stables , One evening I put on the chip pan to heat up and I got interested what was on the telly , it was Emmerdale farm , and something Seth Armstrong was saying made me giggle until I saw an orange flicker on the kitchen door , I ran in the kitchen and I saw the chip pan was well lit up in flames , so I open the door of the kitchen and threw the pan out there , the dead grass which was 3 foot high instantly caught alight , I was hoping it did reach the corn field that backed on to our cottage

Trust me !

Do you remember a comedy sketch show called Smith & Jones , Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith ? I used to look after a racehorse owned by Mel Smith whilst I worked for Toby Balding , my nearest claim to fame !

......and my first movie star crush as a nipper was Jacqueline Bisset , I was also in love with singer Dusty Springfield, she had the same initials as me that made me love her more !!!!!

@Annesley Red I used to cut them cardboard cornflakes boxes in little strips , and write racehorse names on them and race them on the carpet, or better still on lino they used to move abit faster , we didn't have Playstation 3 in them days , had to make your own fun using your noddle , also them Mr Kipling vienesse whirls cardboard boxes made good for cutting up and creating my own racing games , I used an old biro pen as a steeple chase for them to jump over and if they landed cornflakes or vienesse side up they were class as horses that had fell over and were out the game , happy days as a

@Beekay I hate people who question my actions !!!! Are you a copper or something C.I.D ? And that is not cash on delivery spelt wrong I did go to skool that knows !

Most embarrassing story as a naive little lad of 16 green behind the ears went to work in the horseracing stables , that was me and I regularly got pranked for it , One day one of the lads sent me down the village post office and told me to get a packet of durex, I said what is that ? Do you mean the chewing gum dentine ? No durex just ask for that . Now the post master was a trifle deaf , and if you wanted a tin of peas , he'd say what sort of cheese ? As I enter the shop there was a girl abit shy just like me , she asked me to go first to the counter , but I insiste

Kudos to you working in the front line of attack and taking all the flak , and flannel , you deserve a medal !

My boss had dyslexia, and often wrote the word broken as Borken , dyslexia is akin to reading words in the mirror , they look like they are spelt backwards, I don't know if this is a fact , just what I have been told.

Another I hate is when someone says to you " can you do me a favour " you know darn well it's gunna inconvenience you !!!

Supermarkets are the worse for asking silly questions, when you are at the check out and you have a pile of shopping , they always say do you wanna bag for that lot ? Nah don't worry, I will put it all in me back packet , OF COURSE I WANT A BLEDDY BAG , AND IF THEY ARE FREE , I WILL HAVE TWO !!!!!!!!

I hated the phrase "Dab in" and "make haste " as me dear old Dad would say when sending us to run an errand.
