How about something you won't be seeing anymore?

Blossoms shoe polish.

They've thrown the towel in apparently as no one waxes and shines their shoes anymore.

Blokes wearing trainers and other plastic shite.

I have never worn a pair of trainers.

I still shine my shoes and especially wax and shine my boots.

The Chinese will probably come to my rescue.

 You can still buy shoe polish, not sure of the make...OH still shines and polishes his leather shoes.

 That was kind of a Sunday morning ritual when I was a child. My dad would shine his shoes before church and make sure us kids had shiney shoes approved by our maker.  

 

Our brand was Kiwi brand and I can smell it now.

 It smells really strong. I can always tell when my OH has been sprucing his leather shoes up.

All great shows, sadly cancelled now 😣


IAHHM will never be shown on British television again - so very sad as Windsor's towering performance was simply perfect.

Many veterans from WW2 onwards say their BSM was almost exactly the same - shouting and bawling at them 24/7 and many of them loved it! lol

But they also know they would lay down their life for their men if it came to that.

How I hate Woke World.

Phil.

 Windsor Davies used to come into a club I worked in back in the day.

He was a lovely, modest man, so unlike many of the talentless 'stars' that are popular now.

Often, the more talented the person, the less ego they have, ime.

 Think you might be confusing him with someone else Syl ?

Windsor Davies was a southerner, and what’s more, real posh.

He wouldn’t have been seen dead in a working mens’s club up north.

Are you sure you don’t mean Bernard Manning?  Maybe Joe Longthorne? 

thanks xxx

I agree Syl. hi

Also on the comments thread on YouTube everyone who had ever met him said what a lovely bloke was.
