John GrindrodIt’s #Drabvent, day 1. This year it’s going to be very different, higher budget, more spectacular. From Money Go Round, 1977
Welcome to day 2 of #Drabvent. Here’s Newsround explaining the allure of fast food in 1981
#Drabvent day 3: choose your ITV or BBC TV lounge for the day, on a holiday camp at Hayling Island on Wish You Were Here, 1974
Day 5 of #Drabvent. It’s 1976 with that typical mode of transport: showgirls dragging a bloke on a sled across the Birmingham NEC car park
It’s #Drabvent day 6 so here’s some urgent business news from 1979
Krizanovich@Grindrod this reminds me of when I used to write the Agony Aunt answers on Teletext all those years ago. I answered every darned question and there were hundreds every week 🤔 😂
@krizanovich oh my god, I used to read those! A heroic feat and one that surely deserves a medal from Bamber Boozle
@Grindrod I never thought anyone read them. But then I was told by one of the editors that they were super popular. I remember answering 90 in one day. All real answers - I didn't make one of them up!
@Grindrod Aww, shucks, thanks. I hope they were amusing or at least NOT boring.
@krizanovich Always hilarious, you could never be boring
@Grindrod That's very kind, thank you. (I bore myself regularly)
@krizanovich Talking about how funny your writing is was one of the first conversations I ever had with my partner
@Grindrod I hope one of you disagreed!
