Happy Birthday, Dame Vera

[jno]

100 today. First British performer to make No 1 in America, among other things. And a true icon of Britain's war effort.

Thank you.
I have never heard of that Lolita. I have heard of the other Lolita though and yes, I was thinking of Petula.

[Samjenko]

Did she do Michelle My Belle, jno?

I'd love to hear her sing 'Land of Hope and Glory'. I love that song. Happy Birthday ...

Happy birthday Dame Vera, you are a national treasure.

Oh I am first at the concert birthday. I will put all the chairs in rows and pop the kettle on for sure the rabble will arrive soon.

[Robinia]

Sorry neti, I was just having my last supper in the old place. I think I'll pop some Glenn Miller on the gramophone and hide the Vera records in the oven.

[netibiza]

Let's just have a rousing sing song when the others get here.

[jno]

good idea, neti, we could pop down into the Andersen shelter.

[woofgang]

hello all. This afternoon we had three separate hailstorms and two thunderstorms. Could have done with an Anderson shelter.

[netibiza]

We had rain too!

Thanks for the reminder Neti. I'll watch it tomorrow.
