Watched an old prog on an obscure channel the other week...

"The Galloping Gourmet"

Good grief!!! Why did my Mum and Dad watch it?

[Meg]

Oh yes I remember it well. No wonder I don't watch TV now when we had such wonderful things to watch when we where younger, nothing could compare to that. I watched avidly Crossroads so much that my mother had to keep telling me it wasn't real.  Our Meg and the troubles she had!!!!!

We used to sneak in the bars and collect the bottles and take em round the outdoor (offie) to get money off but they soon got used to that and run their finger nails down the label as a sign they were from in the bar, (spoil sports) ::) ;D
