Oh my! Jenny Hanley was very lovely, wasn't she? Come to think of it she still is and it is 2023 now. Now she is on Boom Radio in the UK and is absolutely delightful.

“IN” the Isle of Wight? Surely ON. Anyway so good to hear correct English being spoken instead of the awful street slang you hear on the TV nowadays.
@maximmc82283 жыл бұрын
'In' is English and 'On' is American, but now most on UK use the American :)

In "When I'm Sixty Four" Paul McCartney sings "we can rent a cottage in the Isle of Wight". So that was the usage in the 1950s (he wrote it when he was a teenager).

Gosh Im almost as confused with the selection of phones in this video as I am going into a store for one today. I liked that modern one where you need to press the buttons with the telephone number you wish to contact. That is state of the art stuff really.

I like how with magpie it’s more helpful I think to teenagers growing up from this and it’s still education in a way but it’s also keeping up to date to that time then and the presenters are not talking down to you like you’re a very young child maybe how blue Peter sometimes did I think and magpie must have understood teenagers more I think at that time and the presenters were really kind and polite with speaking to the viewers as who they were and they knew with what age level were watching I think.
