Only ever heard of those, Haras. How times have changed.

Taddiport wasn't exactly noted for having all mod cons, was it?

This is from 1953:

CHRIS, Dickie (World of Sport) Davies used to work on Southern TV and was doing a live voice-over for the weather.

There was, "FOG" on the weather board but the magnetic "F" fell off and he apologized for the "F" in "FOG".

I'm not sure that Taddiport has moved on all that much ;-)

Thanks for reminding of that one, TCL ;-)

What a shame, that could be a lovely house with a little bit of Levelling Up

I've just taken a liking to Taddiport, Haras2.

I've found out that it's got a thatched pub, that serves real ale and Thai food! I think that we ought to meet up there ;-)

Does that say Duckingham House?
If they have Guinness in the thatched pub I’ll join you.

That's a lovely idea
I might be able to find the old cottage.
I don't even know its name
