Child, we saw some old Children's tv this morning at school.
One was called Noddy, why did Noddy have an open top car, as it always
rains here.
Parent, I don't know, really. Did you ask the teacher?
Yes he said the climate had changed since those days.....

Is this the way the kids are being taught about the climate? Sadly I can
remember those Noddy kids shows and I'm pretty sure it rained in the UK back
then as well....

So it got me thinking about some of the shows we saw in the 50s, Wooden
tops. Andy Pandy, and I think I caught the end of Muffin the Mule, though I
recall wondering at the time how come you would have a small horse on top of
a piano.
What about other puppet shows like Twizzle, Four Feather Falls, and Space
patrol.

Brian

<thwack> to parent and teacher, and a second thwack to techer for
the climate change remark - the correct answer AAFK is that Noddy lives in
Toyland where it never rains. Thus starting sproglets on the road to
understanding the difference between reality and fiction.

Please Miss, if it never rains in Toyland how do all those toy trees and
how does all that toy grass grow? And where does the water come from in
the toy river?

Like the wet Sundays in Manchester, of my memory (nearly 70 years ago).
A certain Hungarian song always seemed to be appropriate for Sundays in
Manchester, even if it didn't rain (a truly rare event in my memory),
made worse by two church services and/or a visit to my paternal
grandmother.

Mind you the worst part of Sunday was Monday, or at least getting ready
for Monday.

Ah Tone, Toyland is a lot like California, they have to pump the
water in from places it does rain. Now how would you like to write me a nice
essay on irrigation - you can use the encyclopedia for references.

Sigh, the dry lands, try the wet coast of Ireland. We've just had

instead of splash!

I read an odd book a few weeks ago, all about a big sleazy city built

You're welcome ... it's why I continue a big fan of the local library.
Try 'em for free, and there's always the option of npghnyyl fcraqvat
zbarl if you think it's worth reading more than once.

Ah, yes, another one. The one I met was "A Line of Forgotten Blood"

He also has a bunch of Glasgow Noir, not as weird.

Much to my wife's disgust I like the feel of books and being able to
just go and pick up a book and consult it again or re-read it cover to
cover. Some of the books that I bought when I was an undergraduate have
finger grease marks on some of their index pages.

I have bought the complete set of the re-published Penguin Maigret
novels (74 of them), I have re-read some of them three times now. It has
been a bit of a nostalgia fest for my early teens. Mind you, old age
has its compensations, when it comes to re-reading novels. When I was
a child, I could not afford to buy more than a few, so I did depend on
the library.
