"Something for the week-end, Sir?"....

Ken Bruce today on BBC Radio4....!

(For us "oldies", or the youngsters who really shouldn't know about such things...)... ...!

"Whenever I used to accompany my Dad to the Barber's shop* for a haircut when I was small, the Barber always used to ask my Dad, "...something for the week-end**, sir?".
My Dad used to look at me, embarrassingly, and always say, "A jar of Brylcreem***, please"...."
Now I know why I have 12 brothers and sisters, and my Dad has a lovely head of hair...!

LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul.

*..a gentleman's hairdresser...
** ..go figure...LOL...!
*** ..A British hair dressing cream compound to give us nice shiny hair...
...and does absolutely nothing to regulate the population of Great Britain... ...!

Good one Paul. I remember those days well.

I think you mean Radio 2 unless Herefordshire receives different radio stations to the rest of of the country. Maybe it's your old steam radio.

PS. Now you know why he works on radio & not TV.

I miss dear old Jim. He was very badly treated.IMHO This new guy is still wet behind the ears & not a patch on a real professional.

I'm also a big fan of Steve Wright in the Afternoon but can't put up with Jonathon Woss. I don't know how he ever got the job let alone be voted Radio Personality of the Year. I must be missing something.

We live in a state of suspended animation, surrounded by mirth, and memories of times long ago, while wearing rose-tinted spectacles, wooly cardigans and slippers.

Cheers all... ...!

Paul.

P.S.   Oh, and odd socks... ...!
