loved this EL-gorgeous
The types recorders I played in school were similar in size to those( big one -the bass recorder was not quite as elegant or as long as that one - the tenor/treble recorder was very similar) but not as nicely made

and the school ones a lot cheaper 
Went to refuel the car (nearly empty) after doing some local shopping only to find that there were problems at the local filling station. All pumps closed other then one. There was a driver in front of people trying to use the pump. Think he was having problems there. So I drove off and refuelled at one of the supermarkets. Fuel prices down a bit but still far higher than they were.

Glad you managed to get some fuel El. Even better news that the price was a little love too

It's a real shame, he was a very likeable chap ...'The Railway Children' wouldn't be the same without him as Perks.
I remember most of those shows he was either in or was the voice behind.
Do you think he died of a broken heart after his wife of 66yrs died last year

Thanks I was aware that it was on BBC Four last night. It's not a film I've ever seen and don't want to as I don't like the storyline and the fact that it was directed by Robert Aldrich put me off. "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955) and "Attack" (1956) aren't the nicest of films 
@El Loro posted:Thanks
It is a fairly sinister film, made all the more realistic I think due to the real life animosity between Davies & Craword.

The film was passed by the BBFC with an X certificate when it was first released and that was after it was cut in two places: in Reel Four, where Jane kicks Blanche only once instead of multiple times, and Reel Six, which eliminated some shots of Blanche tied up to the bed and writhing. The BBFC insisted on those cuts to permit the film to be released. Subsequent reissues restored the footage. Film now gets a 12.

I wouldn't allow my 12 year old Grand-daughter to watch it
The 1940 version of 'Pride and Predjudice' has just started on BBC2
A much gentler & prettier film

Yes, "Pride and Prejudice" is a much gentler film
I was having a look on IMDB at the rating page for the two films. Strangely enough, according to that site both films have a 12 certificate in France 
That may well be inaccurate as the information is supplied by users, According to the rating page for "Pride and Prejudice" it was released with a U certificate in this country (which is correct) but the video rating is PG which is not correct, it's U.

It's not the only thing the French are known to be for
A U sounds about right...The scene where Mr Darcy removes parts of his clothing I think, are the only that could be seen as risque ....very nice...but risque
I haven't seen this version before.

For many years that 1940 film was the definitive version. Then came along the 1995 TV series, the one with Colin Firth with the famous wet shirt scene, that series too got a U certificate.
BBFC took the view that it contained no material likely to offend or harm.
