Country Style

Does anyone remember Country Style chocolate bars from the 70s? They were filled with little bits of biscuit and had a gingham pattern cover.

Cuba

Courageous little country deserving our support, or one-party dictatorship deserving our contempt?

Strictly for the birds

'Strictly for the birds' is an old expression. I'm not sure what it means. I think it means 'for fools', but I'm not certain. What exactly does it mean and where does it come from? Thanks.

Wildwood by Paul Weller

In his song 'Wildwood', Paul Weller asks the listener to come out of the Wildwood. Was he refering to the ancient virgin forest that once covered the British Isles? If not, what did he mean?

Man in the Wildwood

Was there ever a time when Wildwood Britain was uninhabited by human beings, or did Stone Age people move into Britain while the forest was spreading northwards?

New Forest

Why is it called the *New* Forest if it is the most ancient woodland in Britain, a surviving part of the original Wildwood?

acorns

Apparently they are edible, so why don't we eat them? People made coffee out of them during the war and Iron Age people included them in their diet. Why don't we eat them today?

Bespoke, bespoke, bespoke.

I love that word, but what the blinking heck does it mean? Bespoke tailor, bespoke shoemaker. Does it mean that everybody goes around speaking about them? It's a quaint phrase you don't expect still...

typewriters

Do people still use them in an office, or have they been totally replaced by computers? Has the manual (or even electronic) typewriter become as obsolete as the phonograph or the steam engine?
