    How many of us remember. Reg Dixon. I am only here for five minutes. Honest. I feel proper, proper poorly.

    Wowee, how the years have passed by. So much entertainment was on 'steam' This was the radio. I remember how we would sit around and listen. Despite all the crackerling etc, we would hang on every word spoken. In those days. Entertainers so often sailed close to the wind. Compared to todays form of entertainment. Ir was baby talk. So how about us oldies. Treating these youngsters to....Real Comedy.?????????
