    This is all really interesting Mike, I can see a sequel to The Big Build in there somewhere. Now does anybody know any tv producers who might be interested in a pilot series?

    I might have the height but don't think I have the body any longer for the latter one!! Never thought I would see the day when I said oh the Rose costume will be fine. Having walked the boards have always enjoyed being in costume, but the time always comes when you have to realise you have to face the truth - I'm old!!:eek:

  • Mike, do you have the deeds to your house? My deeds go back to before my house was built, who owned the land etc etc makes for interesting reading.

    Love all the details of the history you now have - well done those two sisters. Did they record the program? if not I am sure someone can arrange a copy for them.

    Last but not least. Would your local paper be willing to pay you for an update and the latest revelations? It has a lovely christmassy feel good facture - you could always try. There is an old Dutch saying, "NO, you have, YES, you could always get". :rotfl:

    Billie, where is your sense of adventure. I'm old too, but it didn't stop me going to Mike's. Mind you, I don't think I would volunteer for the job of maid in those outfits. You should have seen me trying on Hob Nailed Boots in Littlehampton. Hysterical. Should have taken a photo. :D
