OMG, where does the time go? Wasn't the original village called Beckindale? My Mr T sometimes calls me 'Annie the oracle'

Yes it was! The village changed to Emmerdale a year after the plane crash..............oh my word how sad am I eh?.......,,,,,,shopper the geek

I’ve been watching classic emmerdale on itv3 early in the morning.

I haven't watched a soap in years.

Same here Donna, never seen Eastenders, must be over 30 years since I watched Corrie and Matt and Dolly etc were in Emmerdale Farm the last time I watched it.

When it got to the stage when everyone was either married (old days) or sleeping with everyone else in the street/village/square and unknown children appeared from nowhere was it time to stop especially when there was a disaster when the producers wanted to do a mass cull and they couldnt all go to St Helens to become a housekeeper to a doctor/live with their long lost cousin in the Lake District.

Musical beds as I call them - too much like Love Island for OAP IMO.

Nowt wrong in being a geek &, as Tim Curry says in 'Home Alone 2' "We love you" - that's from one geek to another.

I'd forgotten Matt, was his surname Skilbeck? He had a really sad life, all those deaths & then marrying that scarlet woman who appeared to drop her knickers for anyone. I'm sure he went to a farm in East Anglia, which must have come as a shock after all those years on the Dales, & Dolly the floozy eventually followed him

I’m not a cleaner Lati, wasn’t in a soap either but hey, I am in St Helens.

Was that Hilda Odgen? Maybe it was St Leonads?

Yeah that rings a bell, she apparently retired as a live in house keeper for a retired doctor...........naughty Hilda.

The neighbours (with the mad kids) - a very large framed picture (at least 2ft x 2ft) appeared propped up on the front window, it looked like a wedding photo and we speculated that it might be an anniversary. Mr L was futtering with his camera taking photos of tulips and took a picture of it which when it was zoomed turned out to be A cow!!!.

Quite why a cow warranted a fancy frame and more to the point pointed outwards to the world in beyond me as they aren’t farmers or anything like it!

And many years later married him

As well as being called Annie the oracle I'm also described as 'doing a Hilda' as I sing/hum when doing the housework.

I used to watch Corrie when it was light-hearted, my favourite character was Jed Stone (the lovable rogue played by "insert name here").

With headscarf and three ducks on the “Muriel” I hope, going full on Hilda

- Having a socially distanced walk. I'm going to find a square headscarf & some Hilda style curlers on eBay to wear when I'm trilling.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

Inside the factory this evening is about liqueurs. It’s mostly Baileys but all liqueurs are far too sweet for me .

I do like Drambuie and Grand Marnier (why is no one surprised ) Only at Christmas though.

Both are delicious, I love cranachan & always use Drambuie rather than whisky. It's our New Year's Eve pudding & one year I was well away with the fairies when I was making it & after browning the oatmeal in the oven decided it looked a tad dusty & needed to be sifted, trouble was I put the red hot oats into a nylon sieve & melted the mesh. I remember looking at this heap of oats & molten plastic, scooping it up, picking out the noticeable bits & using the rest to make dessert. It was just slightly chewier than in previous years.

 

[candycane]

I've never done that. I don't eat puddings When we lived in town we used to go for a curry on Christmas day and I always asked for Grand Marnier at the end and the waiter always said they didn't have it - even though it was there on the shelf! I think I was the only person that ever drank it. Took me a few years to get through the bottle

When my first hubby was alive we used to visit a local Italian restaurant and I always finished my meal with a sambuca, with a coffee bean in the bottom of the glass and set alight by the waiter.
