    Thanks for posting the wiki link. It is Ada and Cissie that I was reminded of when I saw your snapshot. He was indeed a funny man and much loved by the British. His comic piano routines were especially funny and reminiscent of Victor Borge (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Borge  Will open in a new tab or window). I haven't seen any books about or by him, although I seem to recall hearing that his poetry has been published and is very good.

    I never knew about Les Dawson until you mentioned him... he must have been a funny, funny character: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Dawson&n bsp;Will open in a new tab or window.There is a book available, Les Dawson's Secret Notebook, compiled by his wife. Have you seen it?

    Ah, I forgot that not everyone speaks colloquial English :-) "Cardie" is short for "cardigan"; i.e an article of clothing like a sweater (or "jumper" as we call them here) but one that is open at the front with buttons like a jacket. UK people of a certain generation: am I the only person to be reminded of Les Dawson?

    Cardie is a rare word here in the States... don't the British use Sweater or maybe, Cardie is used only by Bath pensioners versus those that speak of sweater in London or even perhaps in Scotland?

    Well spotted! I was so busy with the GigaPan that I didn't notice these ladies at the time. Their body language speaks volumes doesn't it? Also the gentleman to the right looks like he is not sure if he should be looking or not. I do remember one little old lady passing and saying to Miss Pixie "Where's your cardie? You'll catch your death dressed like that!".
