Don't panic Mr. Mannering

Now they want to stop showing Dad's Army. Well all I can say is don't watch it if it bothers you. You are in control of your remote control, or forced.

Dad's Army is now on 1st class stamps bought some earlier.(Stupid Boy).

Where did you hear that Barbara?  Is it a done deal or just somebody complaining?  What about "Ello, Ello"  lol

Who is "they"?  We can all still have points of view in our democracy!

It was an article in The TV and Radio Times written by the writer of, amongst other things, Victoria. Her name is Daisy Goodwin.From her point of view, remainer, she berates Boris too and has quite a few 'odd' opinions.  But then we all have those, don't we? And we all know we are right.

You are missing the point, which is that watching endless repeats of Dad's Army is making the hard-of-thinking believe that Britain can 'stand alone against the world' in the 21st century.

Who are the hard of thinking?

It's a comedy, have you not realized that. Like Porridge, or Fools and Horses. Or Green Green Grass, Man about the House. Sometimes people like the old comedy TV. At least people were funny then.

The hard of thinking are the people who have somehow managed to convince themselves that what they voted for in 2016 was a no-deal Brexit, despite the fact that all the leaders of the Leave campaign -- Farage, Johnson, Gove, Fox, Davies -- told us that there would be a deal, a brilliant deal, and that it would be the easiest deal ever negotiated.Hope this helps.

It’s a harmless bit of fun, gentle humour throughout ... but getting very dated (for my tastes). But everybody still knows the punchlines. I remember a much more recent story about Starbucks and their irritating habit of asking customers their name when they ordered. There was a long queue and when the guy at the front placed his order and was asked his name someone at the back shouted “Don’t tell him Pike!”  Uproar!
