Not to sure where the Union Jack is planted though! no wonder he is draped over the fence. LOL

LOL Pat.. was kind of wondering where that flag was planted myself.. sorry, not familiar with Bill & Ben.. but your Dandi fiiiiiiiiinally made it.. ;0))

They wouldn’t have made the cane if you weren’t meant to break the rules

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

I remember Bill and Ben the flowerpot men. They were banned from television because of homosexuality. Well some people always can find something to complain about. I can just remember the show and thought it cute.  So its not just a English programme but also Aussie too.

Chris:b_tonguewink:

Bill and Ben BANNED!!! Not here in the UK. Sorry but you cannot ban Bill and Ben......... Whatever next...............Blimey, there must be some right prudes down under running the TV networks.

Brilliant link Simon. Thanks. Glad I stopped to photograph him now. Lots of memories floading back...

too young Danny.......hmmm I will have to have words with your mum!

Pat

Well FLUBALUB to this! The union flag right up Bill's Ben!  Flubalub? Ohhhh Flubalubalub. Oh and Pat, Weed was a girl (if you ask me) so it'll be all HER relatives living in your garden. Your spending too much time on RR, go on...get the garden weeded woman!

Hee hee.....Another old kids program I loved was "Tales from Europe" especially the "Singing ringing tree". I remember the huge fish stuck in the ice and that weird (and scary) little bear running about, do you remeber that one?

Haha, Ok Anthony, I guess you are right little weed was a girl! 

 I cant say I remember the Tales from Europe though. but Wind in the willows and Muffin I recall, any thing else I missed no doubt due to weeding the garden!

Magic roundabout was much later on and I must have seen some of that as I remember most of the 'folk' in it.
