Has anyone realized that the correct title for this thread should be
“The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.” and that the quote comes from 'The Go-Between' by L.P. Hartley.
It was made into a film in 1970, starring Julie Christie and Alan Bates, who made me go  :D

Meles....

I read the Wiki thing about Enid...she didn't leave the kids....she had a bit of a thing with Waters and when she married him she changed her daughters name to his...had a very happy 2nd marriage.

I had forgotten that she created Noddy......ahhhhhhh....love Noddy.

She was born on Aug 11.......my son's birthday......therefore....a great lady!
