Today is exactly 38 years, 8 months and 9 days since Arthur Askey died, at the age of 82. Although I didn’t particularly like him, and never really thought he was funny, it doesn't seem right to let the day pass without taking a moment to reflect on his life. I have already taken my moment, but for those who yet haven’t, perhaps now would be a good time.
Arthur, with his almost slightly unforgettable catch phrases, "Hello playmates!", "I thank you" and "Before your very eyes", was a regular face on the TV as I was growing up. I’m not sure I ever saw him in colour, and I will always remember him in black and white.
That could be said to be a problem LD with having these 'youngsters' on OFF, they can make
'older' members feel even older (without of course, intending to)!

I remember the 60's ... started in black & white, finished in glorious Technicolor.
