i think I remember coming home from school asking what the Nursery Rhyme was during the programme.

please ..............does anyone remember POGLES WOOD and they lived in the wood and there were Pipecleaner people !!!!!!!!!


and doesnt the music bring back memories!!

Are you stitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.

My brother and I used to run up to the front room at 1.45 for Listen with Mother. I used to lie on the floor in front of the wireless speaker and stare right into it thinking the woman was sitting in there!! ( my Dad had rigged up a big speaker in the corner of the room as he loved his music so much).
I loved those stories.

Me too 1946 - when the radio was called the wireless, and there was plenty of crackling going on, whilst the "station" was tuned in!

Gawd these youngsters dont know they are born! ))))

1945 for me.......wonder if i look like an antique as well...lol

1946 Stella........but I can't believe I am that age......

rag tag and bobtail

heck..i feel like everyone's mother..is anybody older than me ????

I remember watch with mother:-)) I loved "The Wooden tops" spot the dog:-))

Listen with Mother would start at 1.45 and at 2 pm it would be Womans Hour on the radio.........so that's when Mum put me for my afternoon nap.........went to school and fell asleep at 2pm and my Mum had to explain why.......still feel dozy at 2 pm now....

Maybe if I hear the music I will drop off to sleep......a bit like Pavlov's Dog.....

The time is a quarter to two. This is the BBC Home Service for mothers and children at home. Are you ready for the music? When it stops, Catherine Edwards will be here to speak to you. Ding-de-dong. Ding-de-dong, Ding, Ding! Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin! "
