Strange to say the piece that epitomises an English summer for me was written by a German. To park up in the peak district on a summers day, admiring the view and  listening to the Pastoral - bliss. Until dearly beloved chimes up 'can we have some ABBA'...

Grew up watching and listening to Mam and her sisters to this kind of music

 

I'm with you there benj. Our front room was often turned into a dance floor. The same as you, Mam and her sisters, sometimes SueB48 and my sister, all jiving, trying to Jitterbug with Mam was a laugh. I miss those days so much.

I forgot to say I love that film, I laugh so much at their antics. Naughty Girls, and that there Bob was having a whale of a time.
