Mad over Fifties Club
102 Answers
The Club is now open.
The Committee reminds all members that the summer fete is fast approaching.
As this is usually accompanied by a break in the weather, members are advised to stock up on rainmates , mackintoshes, welly boots and gamps.
Donations of bric-a-brac, cake and candy etc may be left in the upper lesser drawing room for sorting by the members of the fete sub-committee.
Applications for membership of the fete sub-committee are currently being vetted.
Please give generously. This year's profits will be going to the house...errr.... club rooms restoration fund, a worthy cause as we will all agree. (And that damp patch on the bathroom floor is not going to go away on its own.)

Phew, puff, pant, evening all..... The feet are clean but I think I still have bits of twig in my hair, so please make allowances.
Ethanron, how kind of you to ask. Lost in the mist of time - but when I first moved to le manoir, I had so much stuff and it was all piled up in my ground floor room, all I could see was - boxtops - and boxtops I have been ever since. I like it!
And now to return the compliment, if I too may be so bold: are you Eth AND Ron, or is it a double act?

thank you for the clarification boxtops dear, your name had me puzzled as the only thing i could come up with was perhaps a liking for cereal, hence boxtops (i know, a very loose connection).
my own nomenclature (?!?) is in fact eth and ron, me being the eth bit, him being the ron bit rather surprisingly. eth and ron were in fact my dear late departed parents real names, although my mum was never known as ethel, but by her middle name. and although i am FAR too young to remember it, there was apparently a radio show with eth and ron in it, starring i believe june whitfield. not sure where the antipodean connection comes in, although i do like a nice chilled ozzy white.
and my split personality? well, i am using the ointment and it seems to be having some effect, although i am still a little raw in places.
