thank you Muffy
John - why say I was in the wrong era when you seemed to think there were telephone engineers in the 1700s?

telephone wasn't invented until the 19th Century - 1870's

Maybe John's REAL area of expertise is in time travelling...he is maybe being a bit modest about it...or he doesn't want his cover blown ! lol..

I'd love to time travel....could make a fortune in the bookies !!!!

Got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John you said you are not John, telling bones in the 17th century, you are...............





















CATWEAZLE :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D @ Sue, I liked Catweazle :- )

For all who would wish to live in earlier times. I think that Capsticks father was suffering from the male PMT.

The link may have to be C&P into the search bar. Any difficulties ask John as he is considered by many to be an expert C&p'er

Enjoy :-)

sadly, I think his cover was blown some time ago

So did we all as a family Rose :-D

for those who do not know of him:

The series featured Geoffrey Bayldon as the title character, an eccentric, dishevelled and smelly (but lovable) old 11th century wizard who accidentally travels through time to the year 1969 and befriends a young red-headed boy, nicknamed Carrot (Robin Davies), who spends most of the rest of the series attempting to hide Catweazle from his father and farmhand Sam. Meanwhile Catweazle searches for a way to return to his own time whilst hiding out in 'Castle Saburac', a disused water tower, with his familiar, a toad called Touchwood.

I thought he was from Worzel Gummige lol

I remember Gary Warren better, from the second series, as 'Owlface' :-)

lol Muffy :-D

I think more adults watched it than children did. Certainly my friends,their parents and my family did.

Yes. I remember Catweazle :-D :-D

He was great. No, regrettably I am not like him :-D I think I could identify with Carrot more :-)

Errol. You are giving me all the symptoms described in my brilliant OP :-)

nnn Might as well have all outstanding rr'd OP's reviewed tomorrow
