Wakey Wakey - In the words of Billy Cotton

[Bumpkin_Clumber]

Good morning world and especially ABers.. It's fine outside, a nice glow in the sky to the east. Time you were all up and about readying your April Fool jokes (Must have a look at the Jokes Topic).

Oh, and if you don't know who Billy Cotton was ask your parents or grandparents, even your great grandparents, dont cheat by Googling let them reminisce.

Morning, perhaps the jokes on us, is it really sunday, and 06.50am, or has someone switched the clocks, and they are all asleep still.

[emmie]

I remember billy cotton and his band show, that shows my age......

[Bumpkin_Clumber]

Ah, the "Good Old Days" When it was the "Light Programme" and the "Home Service" Never did the "Third Programme" too highbrow for my tender ears

[bensmum]

Bright and cold here this morning, I can see the grass shivering after its haircut.

By the way the News is in the Jokes today, and the Fools stories are in News. Thought I would clean that point of order up.
