Hi Ann

"Beyond our Ken"

Kenneth Williams' country character, Arthur Fallowfield, who was based on Dorset farmer Ralph Wightman, a regular contributor to the BBC radio programme "Any Questions?" Fallowfield's lines were full of innuendo and double entendre – on one occasion Kenneth Horne introduced him as the man who put the sex in Sussex. Fallowfield's reply to any question began: "Well, I think the answer lies in the soil!"

Maux :-D

Right, I was thinking it was actually Ralph Wightman but had forgotten that it was spoofed on beyond our Ken. Thanks Mau.

Freddy Grisewood, now there's a name from the radio past.

Yes like that quote Tec. :-D

There can be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling. ~Mirabel Osler

If you would be happy for a week, take a wife.
If you would be happy for a month, kill a pig.
If you would be happy all your life, plant a garden.

Chinese proverb.
