I always thought that Americans are a bit obsessed with old films and that British people tend to favour new films. When you watch a film you always see Americans, young or old, watching old films, you would never see that in a British film. We have always loved Musicals but never thought we much […]
It’s been a while since we have been to a chain restaurant and out locally on a Saturday Evening. We were meeting friends and we choose a Vintage Inn, that was convenient for both of us. I thought it was quiet for a Saturday evening. We had a great evening, with great company, the only

This is a topic that seems a constant issue – behaviour of theatre audiences. We went to see Moulin Rouge and, don’t get me wrong, we loved the show, but the audience not so much. It was about 5 minutes before the show was due to start and the cast are out on the stage,

An actor friend of mine told me his mother always said, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. I think some people need to take notice of that these days. As I am sure you have realised my husband uses a wheelchair, that in itself poses some issues in going out.
