    Who?
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-45271254

    KSI and Logan Paul, YouTube stars with 37 million subscribers between them, will take their beef into the boxing ring on Saturday for a fight billed as "the biggest event in internet history".
    Hopefully they'll knock each other out... pathetic really, YouTubers pretending to be boxers

    Being shocked at the admission fee to Kew Gardens, now set at £17.75 on the gate.

    The last time I went in 1971 it was 1p (yes, one new penny). That in its self was a rip off because pre decimalisation it was one old penny (2.4 times less).

    I was asked what I remember about my youth as we did not have internet, I said I can remember when I in my teens was listening to the wireless Sunday lunch time to Navy Lark and Round The Horn. He looked at me baffled and said "what is a wireless and is Round the Horn Porno?". Don't worry you younger people, if you have never heard of them

    Some of the finest comedy ever written in this country.

    2 great comedy shows round the horn and the clitheroe kid but you also got to include the navy lark as well, left hand down a bit, but never enjoyed family favourites.

    Yeah a full English roast all sitting around the table, all food cooked by mum, nothing prepared, veg out the garden, meat could be anything but mostly how can I put acquired from a local farm for no cost and prepared by dad, if we had beef he had to buy it from the butchers as it fit in his bag

    I remember Sunday evenings, sitting on the kitchen table as a miserable 5 year old whilst mum scrubbed me clean. We may have been poor, but god was I clean for school the next day. On the radio would be Sing Something Simple. A show that not only marked the end of the weekend, but also the most miserable, depressing, excuse for music you could ever imagine. Not sure if I ever fully recovered from those 'Sunday evening blues'.

    Must admit I already have because I'd confused it with another similar show. I'll leave your question open for others though Len :smile: .

    Len, it was. The Cliff Adams Singers, boy do I remembered being bored to tears whenever that music came on, the end of the weekend and a good scrub in the bath, followed by bed.

    Are you my long lost sibling? My dad loved that damned programme. I couldnt stand it, possibly in part because it symbolised the end of the weekend as much as anything.

    I think everyone of our generation suffered with this awful program on a Sunday evening, funny enough the thing that jogged my memory with real pleasure was Round the Horn must be one of the funniest wireless program ever produced, no doubt if we heard it again, we would what that all about.

    Here's a verse from a Rambling Syd's Rumpo song:-

    "In Hackney Wick there lives a lass,
    Whose grommets would I woggle,
    Her gander-parts none can surpass
    And her posset makes me boggle!"

    Eat your heart out Lennon and Mccartney.
