  Gardening, car washing, window cleaning, hat making... What? Hat making? A chap I in knew was a milliner. He laughed at me because I was a TV engineer and he made hats! Happy days!

  Did you have a Saturday job when you were at school? For many kids, a paper round was the first step which often lead to a Saturday job and, sometimes, something even more exciting. I’ve got a couple of stories about Saturday jobs that turned out to be quite special.

  Did you have a paper round when you were young? It was a popular way of earning money back in the old days. I had to get to the paper shop at 6 in the morning... strewth! That was early! Happy days!

  Do you remember school assembly? The head teacher would stand on the stage moaning and groaning about this and that before ordering us to sing a hymn. Were you a hippie? I remember coming across a load of hippies in the woods... happy days! Please, join me for a chat.

  Bring back the old days! I hear people say, almost daily. People used to laugh at me when I said I wanted to go back to the 1950s. Now, they're saying it!

  Sunny Worthing was famous for growing tomatoes back in the old days. There were huge greenhouses everywhere! Sadly, those days have gone. Most of our fruit and vegetables come from abroad now. Join me this Sunday for a good old chat.

  Hi, I hope you're well. What did I do before I was allowed out on my own to the woods? I played with my trainset,  my Meccano set, I played in the street and the garden... Happy days!

  What I did in the 1950s… Apart from going to the woods every day!

  I know that I'm always on about the woods and the pond with frogs and tadpoles and sticklebacks and water boatmen... But, what else did I do when I was young? In this episode, I shall tell you.
