Amanda or sweeties?

Stangely drawn to the Qulaity Street sweets on Amanda Wyatt's stand at BBEH; this week is the 75th anniversary of Quality Street and in Halifax they're giving away free sweeties! But at BBEH there's no free wedding dresses being given away (sorry ladies; and the odd bloke).

Quite an interesting conversation tonight with Brian Blessed, actor. He was speaking at the West Yorkshire Society of Chartered Accountants dinner at the Queens hotel. He acted in Z Cars and played Fancy Smith; the series was filmed at Maghull Police station, yards from my Grandma's house, and I can remember the commotion it caused when they were filming. There again, I was VERY young...!
