    Nikki, you've reminded me I'd better do some cooking today. Currently working my way through the European potato mountain from when they had the extra 50 points on, and there's various other things lurking that need cooking up and freezing.

    A question for you Elite, please. I'm currently trying to put together a programme of music for a Jubilee event. I'll be doing some more up-tempo stuff in the afternoon and a Last Night of The Proms sing along at the end, but I'm looking for some nostalgic numbers to sing while everyone's having their lunches. I'm calling the slot "Songs of Time & Place", and I'm particularly looking for songs that either epitomise a point in British history/music or mention a British place name in their title. Ones I've thought of include "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square", "Scarborough Fair", "Penny Lane", and Kate Bush's "Lionheart". Has anyone got any thoughts or suggestions? A friend is going to do a couple of war time numbers. Thanks :)
    Hope is not a strategy.

    Can you have one that epitomises nostalgia itself rather than a place/point in time? Those were the days my friend.
  • Morning everyone. Miserable on the south coast at the moment, Laura cello are you near the west sussex/hampshire border, as i thought i recognised that photo you posted some time ago.x
