A shame The King isn’t that ‘70s Hanna Barbera cartoon ‘Ayyy it’s the King’ about a lion that had the style, mannerisms & voice of the Fonz. That would have given BBC2 a clear run of hits.

2/2 I went to open the spreadsheet but instead got the message ‘Uploading to OneDrive to generate Copilot insights’ … there was no signal so it couldn’t. And it wouldn’t let me open the spreadsheet until it did. So I left the record & hoped for the best (turns out I did have it after all).

I used to go on British Legion coach trips with my gramp in the early ‘70s, all those old boys (probably about the same age as I am now) high on Double Diamond and the less painful wartime memories, belting out the Quartermaster’s Stores and Bless ‘Em All. Feel quite privileged to have been there.

Ditto - and they were talking about the 14-18 war.
