    Accidentally said to some youngster in the Office today "I meant to tape that" when talking about a TV programme...

    All I got back was a "What?"

    They were plain blue.

    Unashamed mention again of Muriel Young, just fleetingly seen on Talking Pictures - I'm All Right Jack.

    Absolutely gorgeous, and with the added bonus of the stunning Liz Fraser ....
