      "How many kids shows had nonces here?"
      Now _there's_ a question you don't want to ask! Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile are the most obvious, prolific and high profile examples, but there are plenty more from around that time who gave off "creepy" vibes and few people would be surprised if any stories came out.

      @@stevieinselby I wasn't around back then, but didn't Gary Glitter briefly host a kids show in around about 1974? I seem to remember it being said somewhere that he and Saville each coincidentally (or not) appeared as guests on the other's kiddie show at one point.

      @@edwardphilibin3151 Even in about 1996 he was still considered wholesome enough (if that's the right phrase) that on children's show Byker Grove the character Geoff, who ran the grove, dressed up as GG and performed one of his songs, Leader Of The Gang, during one episode.

      And just to add that Gary Glitter also filmed a cameo for Spiceworld The Movie, which was released in 1997 and primarily aimed at children. Although they did cut his cameo out of the film before they actually released it, so the tide was just starting to turn against him around that time.

    If you haven't had one yet, I'd definitely recommend lining the shelf underneath, because the gravy ALWAYS bubbles over.

    The point about going to Centerparcs in the school holidays is that the price varied depending on when you went - school holidays were often two or three times the price of term time and there were scandals for a while about parents taking kids out of school to go when it was affordable. I think people don't remember going because most parents (like me) stopped doing it when their kids hit school age.

    The food by weight is usually exact, they organize the slightly heavier ones with the slightly lighter ones so it is always (ex 8) the same, but sometimes if it can’t find one that is slightly heavier, it has to put (ex 9) an extra, and it will be over weight. And sometimes the machine literally makes a mistake.
