Many many years ago, my family emigrated to Australia. I was about six. My present that year was a box and arrows set so my four or five chums and I built a open bush fire in the middle of the lounge room and whooped around it like north american Indians as per TV shows. My mum came home, to a house full of smoke, the carpet on fire and a hole in the floor; it's a wonder the whole place didn't go up. Needless to say, she lost it and broke every arrow over my back and bum from the hiding
are you sure that you wasn`t just watching an old episode of dads army, or if this is indeed a true story, are you sure that this mans name was not mr jones.
Much to ponder here whilst chewing the Yuletide goose. I'm particularly enthusiastic about the pick-me-up for tired drivers in the form of a dashboard attachment. But it occurred to me that cars with heaters are the coming thing. So this year my wife and I have anticipated that development and presented Uncle Reginald with a hose attachment that fits neatly over the exhaust-pipe of his Armstrong-Siddely and feeds warm air into the interior via the rear window. Happy motoring Uncle Reg!
There is a splendid book to accompany the film that is both educative and imformatative. It is called "A guide to making the most of the festive season".
When we were kids in the 1960s, my friend Freddie and I would make a bonfire and melt lead that we'd "appropriated" from the roofs of nearby derelict houses, pouring it into crude sand moulds. One day it was raining so we melted the lead on the indoor coal fire, dropping the container into a tin bath of water to cool(!) Needless to say pellets of hot lead exploded everywhere. Luckily, we escaped harm, but some pellets stuck to the walls and curtains leaving holes... my mother thought it was moths! LOL
@@petyrkowalski9887 When we were about 9 or 10, my mate stepped from a high wall onto a neighbour's asbestos shed roof after a ball and fell through. The door was locked and he panicked, wrenching the door open which alerted the neighbour. He let his dog out, which chased my mate down the garden while I doubled up laughing. (True)
I was a tom-boy. My best friend Steven and I loved climbing inside the partly-built houses around the back! Never fell off one joist, I'm proud to say! Kids just don't know how to enjoy themselves these days by Eck!!
I never had a scotch bottle hanging off the rear view mirror but I did have a can holder attached to the dash that held two cans of beer. I bought it from an auto shop. Times really have changed.
@@markjohnson9476 No ... you're thinking of 'made in France'. If it specifically says, 'Made in the EU', you can open it, but the box is empty, and you find that you have agreed to pay instalments of half your income, every year, until death. (Then there are death duties, of course.)

I think at this time of year we should take a couple of minutes just to remind ourselves that there are poor people among us who take this content seriously
i look forward to seeing more episodes of this old documentary series, perhaps a guy fawkes one where we find out that it`s fun to play with fireworks, a halloween one where we find out what a nice fire you can get by burning a witch, a safety in the home one where we find out that you can have a nice warm house by covering everything in asbestos, or indeed one about the working class that informs us that they think having an inside toilet is just not clean, and a bit dirty.
When I was about 5, I was rushed to the doctor to check out a bizarre circular rash on my forehead. Seems that's what happens when you walk around all day with one of those suction cup arrows stuck to your face.
I have a school text book of my mothers from the 1920's. Intended to teach English I think. In the inside cover my mother has attempted to spell Hereford. Herefurrd is my favourite. One piece is 'An Ode to Tobacco' followed immediately by a piece 'In Praise of Beer'. They are quite erudite pieces with many classical allusions.
Theres an element of truth in this wonderful parody...when I was 9 years old..my mother used to send me to the local chandlers shop for a gallon of paraffin for the two dalek heaters we used in the house...I kid you not
As much as I'd like to cancel Christmas and the "little baby jesus," I can't be a radical atheist while I still get a jolly good laugh out of Christos at this time of year!

Harry Enfield is an absolute comic genius and should receive an OBE for his services to comedy.
I agree. He is astounding.😃❤

Mr Enfield is a Harry of various comedic trades and master of all!
I worked with an old boy back in the late 90s who used to tell me about his life in the army fighting the fuzzy wuzzies. He was hilarious.

They dont like it up them.

Yep. And for extra fun use live .22 longs in the fire for bombs
The petrol and matches game is the best. Hours of fun 😂
Not really, it was over in a flash.

this was a wonderful christmas tiding-most enjoyable. glad the film was saved from the gasoline & matches game LOL!
I love these lil short stories they do it's so funny .British has the best sense of humor better than americans I can sure say that lol.
Are you from Idaho ?

My 5 year old would love the croydon aerodrome game
But if it snows he'll have to ground them.
Does he have to wait a long time for you to finish playing with it? Lol
My dad used to say to me "Go play on the motorway". Bastard.
That's a clever idea. I think I'll give out packs of matches next Halloween.
I find the humour of the dummy very clever because lots of toys were made of lead in those days.
Very true, for example toy soldiers by the millions, which many little boys received from relatives.

No buy the new 2018 Heathrow game - but you'll needed very strong and fit arms to handle the 1400 take offs and landings per day.

I wish I could get that book "the day I killed a thousand fuzzy wuzzies " I always knew I was born a few generations too late...
The Fuzzy Wuzzies were a generation before this sketch is set. Fought with the “Mad Mahdi” and the Whirling Dervishes.
In Dad's Army, set during WW2, Corporal Jones often ranted about the Fuzzy-Wuzzies. As a small child in the early 1960s I was aware of the term.
@@arcadianCA As well as the Mad Mahdi and the Whirling Dervishes lol
@@arcadianCA It continued to be used and was also used for people like the Papua New Guinians during WW2. The term was meant to be endearing.

Harry Enfield and all the team .. quality.
I probably would have loved that aerodrome toy, and I mean that in all honesty.
i had something similar called flight deck. a plane, a pulley and a cardboard deck to land on. i had minutes of fun with that.
I must try the "Petrol & Matches" game it looks exciting. It's Specially designed for Children.
I'll ask Santa for one this Chrstmas.
Its not as splendid and educational as the alcohol and unattended chip pan game! That's the ticket!
Give it to the kids next door
Not a joke, in the 60's we used to get a "Junior smokers Kit" It was chocolate cigarettes and a pipe wrapped in gold foil.
I remember that and you could buy chocolate cigarettes and edible tobacco - barking 😂
