Ah well, can't please all of the people all of the time,
only some of the people some of the time!


Sorry, Baz, don't want to rain on your parade - but I cannot stand Vera Lynn. She sings through her nose and sounds like a braying donkey! Mother and Dad used to like her though - I suppose it is a nostalgia thing. Thankfully I had the sense to be born after the war.

No problem ST, we all have our likes and dislikes. It was just a thought that someone might like that video of the time to sing along with so found and posted it. I didn't have much choice in the matter but I too was born after the war, just.

Indeed - and I will always respect and be grateful for their sacrifice.

While I may not like listening to Vera Lynn I am not unmindful of all the good she - and many others in the theatrical profession - did to entertain the troops and give their moral a boost.

ST, Do you think we are starting to become like puppets or robots?
Clap on a Thursday. Sing at 9pm tonight. How long will this go on?

Please, don’t anyone think l am being unsupportive because l am supportive but l just feel l am being controlled by the masses.
I even feel guilt if l am a minute late on the Thersday night clap!

Thankfully, just the usual eerie silence and the passing of tumbleweed in our street .....
