It were all flares 'round 'ere when I were a lass

Weird. I am plundering the Youtubes (where all pop-cultural detritus is to be found) for the CCS version of 'Whole lot of love', 'Town Talk' by Ken Woodman & His Picadilly Brass, 'At The Sign Of The Swinging Cymba'" by Brian Fahey and his Orchestra and 'Roadwalk' by Syd Dale. Soon I will settle down in front of a Mike Yarwood programme with a nice tin of Top Deck.

A nice tin of top deck - surely you mean a Watneys Party Seven? the opening of which defies many a man and leads to a lot of spillage....

I'm fairly sure I couldn't manage a Party Seven on my own. Maybe a tin or two of Double Diamond...

Some people have a six pack stomach. I have a Party 7.

These are all good things. Apart from the tin of Top Deck.

I have the original CCS vinyl somewhere. Great album.

I used to have a maths teacher who had exactly the same sideburns.

He also wore a purple safari suit. Well, it was the '70s.

Charity shop in Chepstow today has a book - by a bloke who's rounded up all the ex-members of The Fall

How very Peelist. Is it any good?
