Thanks for posting that, it’s a wonderful story. I only did 15 years on delivery, and really enjoyed it even though it was an inner city delivery. I got to know most of the customers, and formed some great […]

I had an Evri parcel delivered through my letterbox yesterday, when we were out. I came home to find not only the parcel on the floor in the porch, but also half my letterbox. The chap had forced an obviously too […]

An ex postie here who retired last year after 30 years service, but only 15 on delivery. I could see the way it was going and jumped ship to work in the Mail Centre. What a cushy life that was compared to […]

Although not mentioned directly in the series, they are mentioned first in the end credits. It’s either In loving memory of John and George, or just in memory of. I can’t quite remember. I suppose the answer to […]

As I’ve said above, the Dvd boxset was the first thing I ever bought on Amazon in September 2003.I’ve just checked my orders, and the price was £35.99. A very good price for the time I think.

That’s a great suggestion. These three were such a part of the Beatles story that an episode would have been a fitting tribute. Maybe they could have included Brian as well. I don’t think it would appeal to Joe […]

I’ve just watched the fourth episode, and am enjoying it immensely. I bought the Dvd boxset when it was released in 2003, in fact it was my first ever purchase on Amazon. I must have watched it about four or five […]

I had no idea what I wanted to do when I left school, but my mother was desperate for me to get a ‘trade’, as that was the only way working class boys who went to a crap comprehensive could make anything of […]

I once sat next to Hywel Bennett in a Cardiff pub. It was the early 80s when Shelley was a big hit on TV. He was with his agent discussing future scripts. We exchanged a few words, and he came across as a really […]

That’s one of the reasons I decided to finish work last year. Two work colleagues died, one in his late 50s, the other early 60s. Then two lifelong friends died in quick succession. One aged 64 from a heart […]

How do you know when you’re getting old? I suppose it’s when I look in the mirror, see a full head of grey hair, and recognise my dad. I’m 64, and retired 18 months ago, but I don’t feel old, even though I suppose […]

I know the feeling. We pick our four year old granddaughter up from nursery every Thursday at 11.30, and she gets picked up about 6pm. I slump in my armchair, and can’t function for at least an hour. In the […]

There’s Twang, I meant to say exactly that, but forgot to say it. We went on the same musical journey together growing up in the 70s, and seeing and hearing songs like this, and watching TOTP every week together, […]

As a few people have said above, I think it’s an amazing song, and we will probably never see anything like it again, which most probably will please a lot of people. There aren’t many songs which I can […]

This is me as well. Definitely seated at the end of a row, or no more than a couple of seats in. It’s funny how times change, because once upon a time I used to love being in the middle of a row as it felt great […]

Thanks for the tip off, but I bought it at this price a couple of weeks ago, and have just finished it. It was an enjoyable read, and even this Beatles addict learned a few new facts. Also, anything by Stuart […]

Thanks for that, I really shouldn’t but I am tempted. I can’t believe I left it off my list, as like you it’s one of my favourite books. The trouble is my Beatles books are not all in one place, as they are on […]

Ha! I think I have enough for now, but thanks anyway. I’ll probably never read all the books I own, either physically or on my kindle. I have a kindle full of novels, bought on the daily deal (another obsession), […]

That’s a great collection you have there dai!

That’s a fine collection you have there. I think Tune In has to be the best of the bunch, as it’s just superbly written, with research that is second to none. I’ve also given up on Vol 2, as it’s just been too […]
