I hope when you've all been reading the word crackerjack, you've all shouted, CRACKERJACK afterwards at the top of your voices, as was customary on the show. It's been burned into my memory since childhood.

I used to like watching it to see how long they could hold on to the cabbages

[CheekyChops]

errr...you weren't right....unless you have worded your question wrongly!

I always remember the cabbages. i think it was called 'Double or drop'. I recall a girl being asked, 'Captain Cook made three voyages around the world, on which one did he die'?. She responded 'On the second one'. Still makes me laugh. Unlike Peter Glaze who was the resident stooge.

CRACKERJACK!!!! Can't believe nobody has taken the opportunity to do the old 'shout CJ when you hear it!!'

Definitely 5 to 5. I'm off to crush a grape. Or rip a tissue. What the f### happened to Stu Francis!?!?!?
