Just as well I'm no longer with BT. They are replacing the pole nearby today so I wouldn't be able to make or receive phone calls. I assume they notified their customers in advance. Only kbew about it as I saw a workman removing the overhead cable from the side of my house (he had knocked on the door but I didn't open the door as he was standing tight by the door - I spoke to him through the landing window as he was standing on top of a ladder).

I wonder if customers of BT had been informed El

Apparently the very first talkie shown in Cheltenham was the 1929 film "Bulldog Drummond"

It's a film I've seen. It's rather stagy other than Ronald Colman who played Bulldog Drummond. He was British but moved to the States where he made the majority of his films. Films such as "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1937), "Lost Horizon", (1937) and "Talk of the Town" (1942).

 

In later years he made a radio series called "The Halls of Ivy" and then a televison series of the same name which ran from 1954 to 1955. A very gentle comedy series set in a college. Here's an episode of that:

His wife was played by Benita Hume who was his wife in real life. The housekeeper was played by Mary Wickes (years later she was in the Father Dowling Mysteries and the Sister Act films).
I do remember watching some of the episodes on television many years ago. Pleasant though from a different age.

Good morning everyone   

Its sunny here but not to warm as yet. So I decided to mow the front lawn and the two smaller back ones 

Now I am whacked, already 

So, as there is plenty of football from all over the world on the television today, that me sorted  

Currently live Japanese football on 

 

Have a lovely day everyone and catch some rays if you can
