If I remember rightly one of my "cousins" appeared on it quite often so that was always a bit of a laugh!Aileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738212806385240069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-71208162177955922552012-01-23T16:00:46.030+00:002012-01-23T16:00:46.030+00:00Aileen, yes, he did work as a chef back then, but ...Aileen, yes, he did work as a chef back then, but I have to be honest, I couldn't tell you his name.

I have looked at photos of my mum around then and she is the age that I am now but you would think (just because of the fashion) that she was a "smidgen" older! Anyway have a question, the man that you are coming up the escalator with can you remember his name? I think he used to work as a "chef" in the Hebridean Bar in Inverness in the late 80's/early 90's with my mum. If it's the same guy we used to call him the little chef and he was always good craic at a party. I can't remember his real name as we literally called him little chef all the time but if I heard it I would know! Loved Speaking Our Language when I was younger always felt they taught Gaelic in quite a simple way! xAileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09738212806385240069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-41219301494333123602012-01-17T15:25:30.366+00:002012-01-17T15:25:30.366+00:00That was AWESOME!!!

That's England and not Australia! I showed my family your blog the other day, specifically a picture of you and asked them who it reminded them of. Husband nearly fell over. Kids said 'She looks like you mum' - they all had big smiles on their faces! I had a similar hairstyle in that era too and thick hair which hairdressers could never style properly. My dad said he was considering signing me up to be a stand in for the Dulux dog! (Liverpool humour!) I once went to a Greek hairdressers and came out with even bigger hair than I went in with. I went to a trendy expensive salon in London and came out looking like Rod Stewart. Thankfully, I was never filmed by the BBC, though when I was about 10 I got picked to do a radio interview with ballerinas from the famous Ballet Rambert. Very cultured I know but back then I had a thick Scouse accent and I don't think they even understood me. You can picture it now can't you! Love your funny posts - they bring out the comedian in me!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-90533922533985711642012-01-17T08:26:38.980+00:002012-01-17T08:26:38.980+00:00Ladies, you are clearly *much* more polite than my...Ladies, you are clearly *much* more polite than my FB friends!

You could have easily fit in over here, so don't be so hard on yourself. My gals were trying hard to guess, are you all teaching Gaelic in this series?
