There was an attempted update as Mrs Dale‘s Filofax, but that didn’t last very long either…What happened to that? It doesn't seem to be on any more.

Coincidentally, I was just flicking through the channels on TV and on BBC4, it was To The Manor Born, with Daphne at the counter of the village shop.Used to be on after Listen with Mother? Same era anyway! Just after lunch.
Daphne Oxenford will tell you a story, "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin!

I’ve still got watches in the drawer I haven’t moved to British Summer TimeWhen you rush to the local bus stop to catch the 09:49 bus on which you can use your ENCTS bus pass to get free travel as it is past the 09:30 start time.....then realise it is only 08:40 when you get to the bus stop.
My bus pass was issued in Hertfordshire. I can use my pass before 9.30 only has long as the bus starts in Hertfordshire before 9.30. Any other county I can't use it until after 9.30.When you rush to the local bus stop to catch the 09:49 bus on which you can use your ENCTS bus pass to get free travel as it is past the 09:30 start time.....then realise it is only 08:40 when you get to the bus stop.
Alas for others, ENCTS is 24/7 in Hertfordshire.When you rush to the local bus stop to catch the 09:49 bus on which you can use your ENCTS bus pass to get free travel as it is past the 09:30 start time.....then realise it is only 08:40 when you get to the bus stop.
I tend to have a couple of watches in Spanish (summer) time so when I go I change watch rather than fiddle with the wheel which I have difficulty with!I’ve still got watches in the drawer I haven’t moved to British Summer Time
Or from the first ever F.A. Cup Final at Kennington Oval, when Wanderers F.C. beat Royal Engineers F.C. 1-0, to your birth than there is from the day you were born until now. It's an interesting one, because the longer you live the farther you can go back, so I might reach Queen Victoria succeeding to the throne yet!The day you realise that there is less time from the death of Queen Victoria to your being born than there is from the day you were born until now.
Anyone 94 or older can already do that.Or from the first ever F.A.

That was my first thought when I saw it on the news earlier today.Sure it was his mistress or his KGB handler?

You know your getting older when you remember back in the past there were less scandals (the misbehaviour still happened but it did not make the news).
Only by Joseph Kagan's questionable behaviour.Was his Gannex bugged?
Your wife tells you to stop eating crisps of any flavour when you go to the pub because they put on weight and the salt is bad for your blood pressure. Therefore you eat twice as many when you go to the pub without her!
Quiz team last night, all players well over 50. We can snatch stuff out of thin air if it happened before 1990, but anything yesterday not a hope. Wonder if that's age, or we are simply flooded with stuff on the web and social media which those of a certain age simply gloss over?
In my day news was newsworthy!
I was a milk monitor at school, I was in charge of piercing the foil tops for the straws to go through.you were the ink monitor at school
Does that make you 'holier than thou'?I was a milk monitor at school, I was in charge of piercing the foil tops for the straws to go through.
Three of my Pub Quiz team (including myself) are over 60, the youngest being a lady who turned 55 last year. Which means we're stuffed if the music round contains anything recorded after the 1990s...I tend to have a couple of watches in Spanish (summer) time so when I go I change watch rather than fiddle with the wheel which I have difficulty with!
Also at home my microwave clock is on BST. All year. Because I haven't the foggiest and would probably lose the will to live if I attempted to change it.

Better than being the straw manDoes that make you 'holier than thou'?
Blimey Ashley, that puts you on a pedestal. Foil top piercing wasn’t even an option when I was at school but ringing the bell for break time or lunchtime was a real accolade.I was a milk monitor at school, I was in charge of piercing the foil tops for the straws to go through.
I never knew is was such an outstanding position! I just had a round metal disc with a spike on it. Not the most tasking of jobs but got you out of lessons 5 mins early.Blimey Ashley, that puts you on a pedestal.

Must have been a good school; we had to make our own hole with the straw.I never knew is was such an outstanding position! I just had a round metal disc with a spike on it. Not the most tasking of jobs but got you out of lessons 5 mins early.
