            Robert Powell was also very good in the Doomwatch series on TV. Anyone remember that?

              I remember the OPEC fuel crisis in 1973 and have still got some of my petrol rationing coupons.

                I found the picture of me with Richard Attenborough and Sheila Sim :blue thumb: It was my first appearance in a National newspaper. :heehee:

                No! I'm not the bald one sitting next to him. :snorky:

                  I remember the name 'Doomwatch' but just googled it and it's not what I thought, so no :)

                  Me too, if I recall correctly we were issued with them rationing cards but it never actually got to the point when we needed to use them. I'll hang onto mine in case there is another crisis.

                        I can't compete with you on the celebrity stakes shiney, but I did meet Dick Emery once. When I say 'meet' it was more of a walk past him as he was having a cig on a bench outside the theatre on Bournemouth pier :)

                            It looks like Ena Sharples meets R. Attenborough.

                            I'm guessing Shiney is the goofy one.;):biggrin:

                              @pete I think you will find Shiney is the serious one next to the goofy kid (sorry not trying to offend the goofy kid:biggrin:)

                              I hope you got Richards autograph Shiney as it will probably be worth a bob or two now:love30:
