Kylie's got a great arse- but what does she know about parsnips??

I read that Kylie can clench so hard, she can turn a parsnip into a smoothie!
Saw it on the tinternet, so it must be true.

I remember Jack as well, went fishing with him. Hunting, shooting, fishing, He must have killed millions of animals. As for Cyril and his 'odd odes' wasn't he a smug barsteward, Didn't he give Ester one?

Percy Thrower

Geofrey Hamilton

But the best gardener for growing veg was my grandfather

Ohhh now I'm having brain ache - anyone who grew up in Scotland in the 60's help me out here.  There was an old chap on the telly with a posh Scottish accent & a deerstalker hat who was our version of Jack H  I think.  I think he had a teuchter-ish name like Findlay or Hamish   & he was often parodied on other programs with the phrase  " I'm standing here......."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnggggggggg.

Ooh, tilts, is your grandad a tv gardener? Or have we just gone off-thread? ;D

Fyfe or Fife Robertson?

I bet if Jack Hargreaves was on the telly now, he'd say things that a lot of us would completely disagree with

Thanks RT

Fyfe Robertson - I was allowed to watch all that outdoor stuff on telly but not go any further than the end of the close.  Have since done odd stuff all over the world but hardly any of the places he talked about in Scotland - must sort that one day.  Off to Google :)

You might find this link brings back a few memories of Jack Hargreaves. You can even listen to the theme tune  :)

Fyfe Robertson was the one comedians "did" when they couldn't "do" an Alan Whicker

[markfield rover]
