Did not catch the Monty Python connection, yes I did see all the programmes, but I did appreciate the humour.
Glad to hear that you are well.

Thank you for that, GTB. Good to see that, unlike me, the real humour has stood the test of time.
Any folks under the age of 40 please follow the link GTB has provided. I will resist any further attempts at my own humour and leave it to the experts.

Thanks also Peter for your kind thoughts.

I had a paper round.

I used to love flying around on my bike before most people had woken up ... sunrise's, birdsong and fresh pristene snow all add to the memories .....

I had just finished my GCE's and had a few months to wait before starting as a boy apprentice in the Air Force.

I got a job in the toy department (suited me) in a department
store for a few months. Was paid £3.10 shillings a week.
