Larks Rise to Candleford

Seriously though, they were one of the few acts I actually saw live, many years ago in Cheltenham.  Brilliant - and clean.

Off topic!
I interviewed them (for the Talking Newspaper) some years ago when they were at my local theatre.  When we made the recording, I sat with George and Patrick - but the Dear Ladies replied!

I am going before I am lynched

You won't be lynched, it seems the majority of the replies agree with me and you.  I've reserved the book from my local library, not surprisingly it's already out on loan.

Pleased to see I won't by lynched.     I know that curiousity killed the cat, but why Lizziedripping?    I ask because my uncle Mick was nicknamed Mickydripping because when he was younger his favourite food was bread and dripping with a sprinkle of salt, and everyday when he came home from school that is what he always asked for.    Marihelen

(Lizzie Dripping was a girl who had a friend who was a witch, in Helen Cresswell books and i remember watching the series  showing my age http://www.thechestnut.com/lizzie.htm)

I liked Hinge and Bracket, but the two ladies in the shop I could just slap

I was called Lizzie Dripping by my family and schoolfriends, (in the 1940s/50s) long before the Helen Cresswell books were written, but I don't know where the name came from.   Strangely if you go to the website given by madpants and look at the photo of the actress who played Lizzie Dripping, I used to have my hair like that too.   

I used it as my name on here for some time, until I found there was another Lizzie Dripping, but I think she had quotations marks or some slight difference.  Anyhow, I changed to Lizzie Not So Busy instead, although if you look at my profile (which I presume you did) it shows my user name as Lizzie Dripping.

My family called me Skinny Lizzy when I was little, because I was so fussy with food, and stick thin.  I soon made up for it, in size anyway.  I'm still quite picky, and don't eat vegetables, apart from carrots, turnip and mushy peas
