  1. This is such a fun series. I love writing in ‘voice’in my stories and love the sound of these words as I can hear them rolling off the tongue.

        🤣 I remember in the 80s and 90s–after many demands from the south of England–that they had to add subtitles to Rab C. Nesbit, and a couple of other shows, when they aired there.
