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 !!!!

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

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.
