Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.

The News
Have you noticed how the news readers on Radio 4 (one doesn't call them announcers any more) - how they thank any contributor to the bulletin very profusely They all say "Thank you very much (pause) INDEED." I love the chap with the dark brown voice. I anticipate him breaking into song at any moment with "Ole Man River". Like "Little Miss Bouncer who loved an announcer down at the BBC" a song by the Western Brothers- (o.k. before your time) - I like the handsome Sri Lankan, George Aligiah. His news always seems better somehow.
