D'oh, they've changed it so makes no sense now. However, here's how it was. A terrific typo and I should know.

I'd read the original very diligently - twice, even checked the spelling of Sutton Hoo! and was about to post saying I must have missed something - but then had to go out, so thanks for the info! |  |

I did wonder whether some people might have spent several hours wondering what this thread was all about after the amendment, so thought I ought to put people out of their misery.
I realise that having posted this, this afternoon I will cite Paul McKenna as Town manager and Mike Ashley as our CEO in a TWTD article.

I did wonder what it was about - I even checked if Tony Robinson was knighted - but then there was a post mentioning Basil Brush, so I put two and two together, and assumed the EADT had corrected it by the time I got to read the article. |  | | |

 Don't think there's much that'd generate 'Phil Out' posts, but reckon that could be one! | |

Well, our managers are usually called Paul, so that would be an easy one to make. As you say, the Mike Ashley typo would be unforgiveable (actually just realised I did typo that in the last post!). | | | |

I'm surprised you missed the tedious Basil Brush ITFC link.......
one of Basil Brushs sidekicks was Mr Derek
He was played by Derek Fowlds
Derek Fowlds was in Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister as Bernard Woolley
Bernard Woolley could be related to the one and only much missed Brenner Woolley!!
come on Phil you dont usually miss links that are that obvious [Post edited 15 Dec 2022 17:26]

I assumed you were linking Tony Robinson with Baldrick, and referencing his classic war poem from Blackadder Goes Forth. |  |

Thanks for the link.
I had the honour of meeting Basil Brown [nee Brush!] and his wife at their little house in the main street at Rickinghall in the 1960s. Although at an an advance age, he was still digging away at a site close to his house. I recall that he opened a cupboard to show me some finds and a human skull rolled out. He and his wife were wonderful Suffolk characters, welcoming and completely unfazed by any celebrity status from Sutton Hoo. He was played very well by Ralph Fiennes in the Dig film.

That's a terrific memory to have. Impressive work by Ralph Fiennes to play him so accurately. | | | |

For some reason I have only recently started to remember when there was a dig in the town centre, might have been on the ground that the new police station went up on in the 1970s. Anyway the team often came into The Swan after work for a drink and one evening one of them brought a parcel of cloth in, ''ere, look at this' he said and unrolled the cloth on one of the padded benches (so that it was discretely out of sight under a table) to reveal a recently dug up skull. Archaeologists and their skulls, eh ? |  |

Ralph Fiennes was born in Ipswich and spent the first six years of his life growing up in Suffolk. This may explain why his Suffolk accent was not bad. [Post edited 15 Dec 2022 21:56]
