OT: Cr*sp continuities
Andrew John Wineberg
south of BBC Broadcasting House. As I queued to pay for my purchases,
which included a packet of cr^H^H potato chips, the chap in front of me
was completing a conversation with a Radio 4 continuity announcer who
was on her way to work. He identified her to me as Corrie Corfield, thus
destroying in an instant another of my mental images. It was only later
that I realised that the chap both looked and sounded like Arthur Smith,
although ICBM.
I propose that points be awarded to umrats for spotting other members of
the R4 continuity and newsreading team with a pint of Shires to the
first 'rat to achieve 1000 points. SidNun, of course, gets a 100 point
head start for previous experience of TBC. It seems clear that to draw
an announcer out of the woodwork it is necessary to be in proximity to a
packet of cr*sps.

One can't help but feel that Londonrats are at something of an
advantage here. Unless TBC is a close friend of Leslie Thomas[1], I
don't know that Lymington stands much chance of a visitation. May one
beg bonus points for unlikely venues? Our cr*sps are as good as
anybody's, I'll wager, but you know how capitalcentric these luvvies
are!

But can I claim points for having met Philip Heyton of BBC TV
newsreading fame, when he presented our team with the trophy for a
business game we won a few years ago? And Michael Collie, wot reads the
news on Midlands Today, was at my school and his Pa was our vicar.

I didn't think that the film "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying
Machines, or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 hours 11
minutes"(1965) (thank you, IMDB, I had a worrying Senior Moment there)
was particularly obscure? Considered a classic on both sides of this
family :-)
T-T died of Parkinson's in 1990. And I still can't place Leslie Thomas,
unless he was the author of "The Hymenally Challenged Soldiers", which
was before my time?

Frankly, if sharing a packet of crisps with The Blessed Charlotte is worth a
measly 100 points, it's going to take aeons for anyone to to get to 1000. I
mean, I was once in the queue behind John Humphrys in a wholefood shop in
Hammersmith, and shook hands with The Mighty Perkins after a News Quiz. I'd
give these events 0.00025 and 0.05 points respectively on the scale you
propose.
Does being kissed goodnight by Linda Smith after a long and extremely
amusing evening in the pub count for anything in this topsy-turvy world you
have created? No, I thought not.

It's not, I meant I couldn't see inside your head to know if that was
who you were thinking of, instead of Leslie Thomas. I get pretty good
pictures from the wireless (which, as we all know, is better for this
than the TV), but the pictures from Gumrat were too hazy to be sure.
And I can tell you, I came *very* close to writing "which Thomas it
was", before remembering that BrritSki was back. ;o)

Talking of Perkins, am I alone in thinking the BBC have not seen fit to
replace him and therefore keep calling upon his (presumably now freelance)
services? In which case their skill at ensuring the continuity position
(down Sid/Brritski) is filled ranks second only to d#2's boss and the
staffing of his bar.

I'd give you shed-loads of points for those and wonder if I warrant any
having spent some of the last two days reliving a concert the husgod
performed with his namesake Mr Lyttleton at Whitstable Playhouse in July
1985, courtesy of the banjo player who has finally acquired the necessary
tuits to render his recording of this event to CD.

I was never under the impression he was retiring from announcing, only
from the management position.

When I saw Savoy Doucet at Cecil Sharp House, I lent my pen
to Lucinda Lampton, and on the way out held the door open for
Richard Thompson, who had turned up unannounced to join them,
lurked inconspicuously behind the speakers, and played some
absolutely splendid guitar. A magical evening.

Coronation Street persons. Does that count? My friend was working in a
school when Bill Tarmey (Jack Duckworth) came in to collect his
grand-daughter. One of my former pupils once lived next door to Bernard
Youens (Stan Ogden). Pat Phoenix (Elsie Tanner) could often be seen
shopping in Ashton. The young actress who played/plays Tracey Barlow
lived in the same road as several of my former pupils. I won't pass on
their comments about her.
I can't actually play the game myself as I don't watch Coronation
Street, so wouldn't recognise one of their actors even if they came and
shared a packet of crisps with me, but I am assured that some actors can
regularly be seen shopping in Ashton Market, etc.

Been to lots of his events over the years.
Well, I've given lifts to Packie Byrne, Pete Morton, The Kipper
Family, Eileen McGann...
Actually, one of the nice things about the Folk world is that
there is very little of a performer/audience divide, one minute
you will be watching somebody perform, next you will be chatting
in the food queue, and later on you will be dancing in the same
ceilidh.

True, I once spent an evening at a folk club where the guest
performer was sharing my table when she wasn't singing. We had a very
interesting chat, largely about her hopes of breaking out of the folk
club circuit and making it big in ShowBiz.
She succeeded; her name was Barbara Dickson.

My brother went to the loo in a department store one Christmas and no

him.

And I've had tea and bikkies with Pam St Clement and her partner(1) -
and dog(s)(2).
And been on a quiz partnered by Terry Nutkins - who was pretty useless,
really.
(1) Was then, don't know if she still is.
(2) To be honest it was a few (like 14 or summat) years ago and I just
forget whether it was 1 dog or 2.
