Oooh it's all coming back - unized milk from the local farm from cow to cooler to bottle - good old green top! And no such thing as sliced bread, tea bought loose by the quarter, butter from a barrel (does anyone from Oldham remember Shannons butter store ?) Cheese cut from the wheel instead of arriving in shrink-wrap and potatoes covered with soil. Shops all had a half day closing and the butched and confectioner closed at lunchtime on Saturday!

If you want to talk 'puppets'...then what about 'Muffin the Mule'...'Andy Pandy'...'Bill & Ben'...'Sooty & Sweep'...all of whom have come in very handy when naming pigs I might add....strangely though I tend to stick to more Dickensian names for my Dexters....Little Dorrit...Darcy...Dorcus & Daisy for last years brood.

Does anyone else name their animals after characters from books or TV/Radio programmes?

Lost in Space was on TV, Journey into Space was on the radio - which is why I thought you might think it odd that I hid behind the sofa

Joe 90.. I loved that..  The theme tune was fab

[RUSTYME]

lol... I used to hide behind the couch when Dr Who was on ....but I can't remember listening to the radio . We had a telly from when I was 5 , although for the first couple of years it was only a tiny little green thing in it's own cupboard !!! I remember the first BIG one we got was a 19" b+w one.

The scariest radio and later TV and film I remember as a child was QUATERMAS...(not sure of spelling)...my sister and I used to hide on the stairs to listen without our parents knowing...I then became an avid fan and well remember going to the local 'flea pit' to watch 'Quartermas and the pit'...I was under-age and had to pretend to be older just to get in...The music still stirs all those old memories.

Farmer,  

Yes, but its probably a thread all of its own!!
Margo and Geraldine - goats (The Good Life) and Lenin the cockeral
Murphy, Maud and Mildred - pigs (The Worst witch)
Smokey and The Bandit (mummy and daddy rabbit, and their children..) Tonto, the Sundance Kid, Zorro, Dandino (From The Illusionist) and Midnight
Peters and Lee (guinea pigs, my last ones were Tom and Jerry!)

I'll stop now, before you try and have me sectioned... !!

[Farmer]

Little Blue...you're a star...we once had a neighbour who called her two hand reared lambs 'Rigour & Mortice'...thinking ahead no doubt...we had a bunch of very lively GoS piglets that we knicknamed 'The Munch Bunch' and a sleepy old sow we called 'Bagpuss'...our two latest Tamworth sows were named 'Sausage & Bacon' by the previous owner, but we renamed them 'Buttercup & Daisy'...much more friendly!
