Re: Memories for the old 'uns
What a fantastic post - brings back so many memories - certainly cheered me up. I am still having my milk delivered daily in a glass bottle - some traditions still exist from all those years ago. I can certainly remember having to eat everything on my plate and asking to leave the table. Not all good memories but still fun to remember so many of them.

Life with the Lyons/Lions (?)
I used to look forward to this as a child, expecting there would be lions. There never were any lions on it!!! Armand and Michaela Dennis had lions though!
Crackerjack with Eamon Andrews
Torchy the Battery Boy
Muffin the Mule
