What's on your mind right now?

Joe Waring used to charge 2/6 (12.5 pence) in the 1960s.

That's nuts

I remember when a tin of Coke from our local shop was 13 and a half pence
It wasn't chilled but then I don't think anything was in those days

You could go to Butlins for 3 years, see a Max Bygraves concert, buy a whole punnet of Dolly Mixtures and a bag of hot chestnuts, and still have change from half a crown.

I remember a doctor once told me off for drinking milk, due to my cholesterol. She said ''it's all right for babies, but adults don't need it...'' Um, what? So once we turn a certain age we shouldn't drink milk any more? I believe milk carries on giving you the goodness no matter how old you are. I mean, it keeps my teeth and bones strong and healthy. I have a lot of sugar yet my teeth are strong and intact (the dentist even said so). And I've never broken a bone in my life. My bones seem to be strong. And I know it's because I drink a lot of milk.

The doctor made me feel like I was drinking baby's formula milk or something.

Another need to go to the gym.

If your cholesterol is high enough to give concern, it's wise to limit your cholesterol intake, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't drink milk. As long as your cholesterol intake is reasonably low, I don't see why you would need to stop. I think the limits are 300mg/day for normal healthy people and 200mg for people who have risk factors for heart disease. If you need to cut down on cholesterol, it makes sense to cut down on the foods you like the least. If reducing your milk intake is the only way, you can get calcium from other sources.

Soya milk had added calcium and zero cholesterol, but a lot of people don't like it and the calcium can settle to the bottom of the container

Must be sports day at the school behind me

The teachers are using tannoys

I had to turn my telly up

It's ace how your bones can fuse back together

It just goes to show dunnit

I should have chips and gravy one time

Good cod it sounds like the bloody Colosseum on that school field

I daren't look

The care home my grandmother was in was behind a school playing field, and she loved sitting by the window watching the children playing and running about, and it was like being at the movies for her on sports day. No, it isn't creepy to like to watch children play. I like to too. I remember when I was at that same school as a child with the same care home behind the playing field, sometimes a little old lady would wave to us from one of the upstairs windows, and we'd wave back.

Yeah I like to hear them actually

They do a lot of sports at this school
They literally sound like they're on a battle field out there

Then there's the bloody teacher with his tannoy
It's very funny

It'd a good fly on the wall show

Oh he's announcing the winners now

Apparently there was a bit of a technicality with the last one for the second years

The crowd went wild anyway

He's loving this tannoy so he is

He's ordering everyone to get straight on to buses and to go home now

He thanked them for their time

I wouldn't have thought they'd have had much choice with it being a school sports day

Very entertaining though, I've gotta say

What is the "second year" in today's currency

I thought they worked it on a different system these days

I wish Ross Kemp would put more emphasis in his voice when he's saying "is it a truth or is it a lie"

I find myself doing for him out of sympathy every time I watch that show
