Pam Ayres - They Should Have Asked My Husband

[@mikehodson9727]

That line ‘I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong/ Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong’ is pure gold!

[@gaynormainwaring1853]

😂

[@JJPJPS]

She was always able to put everyday experiences and feelings into poetry- what a talent!

[@tuan1310]

Her talent and diction's like a breath of fresh air!!! LOVE her act!!!

[@patriciasansom3358]

Her diction is music to my ears. No “wanna” instead of “want do”, no “twenny” instead of “twenty” etc. etc.

Oct 20, 2019. I a 78 years old. This is the first time I ever heard of Pam Ayers. A perfect example that no matter how old you are, there is something to learn. She could be on anyone's show, stand up anywhere.

[@helenrogers1400]

miller forester ,How True. 👍🤣🤣

[@margaretlavender4418]

miller forester. She has! On TV many many times. Travels the country giving shows just like this. I’ve seen her twice. Brilliant isn’t she.

[@joypwc8402]

Just found this, she is spot on👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@maggieblyth2077]

I hope you enjoyed Pam Ayres, she is a wee national treasure. She done a lot of TV in the 60s and 70s

[@margaretlavender4418]

miller forester. AND, without the foul disgusting language they all use, to their shame it’s the women also. Pam Ayers is lovely. Might be inuendo, but it’s the lovely Morecambe and Wise sort.

[@verenamaharajah6082]

Have followed and loved Pam Ayres since I was a young teen. Brilliant talent, unique, there will never be another like her sadly. I’ve enjoyed reading her poems and stories to others and laughing our heads off because they’re so funny and so true.

[@helenmulvihill5581]

No thanks

[@susanroper6268]

Great fun and Pam never disapoints. Love her cheeky grin when she comes to the punch line. This has cheered me up immensely on a sad day

[@philipbaker8707]

A history lesson of the time ..... its a tribute to her poetic skills that they are remembered as Pam Ayres is herself ....

[@andrewjpearson2728]

She still tours i saw her show last year in Oxford.

[@tom.adamsthomson2600]

Those of you who have heard the lady before will enjoy the repeat. Those who have never before, will be surprised and pleased, at such brilliant skill.

[@gissyb1]

We in New Zealand Loved our primary teacher reading her child appropriate poems to us in to 80s. Esp " i wish I looked after my teeth" ... First relevant and fun poems we'd ever heard. 😊

[@june4mbs510]

Brilliant!!! There will be many a wife/partner out there shouting "that's just him!!!" A comedic pleasure to hear. Well done Pam!!!

[@SunshineMix101]

Apart from William Shakespeare, Pam Ayres was the furst poet I knew and she was the definately the first I enjoyed. What a great talent she has. In a quiet way I think she is a national treasure. :)

[@bobdydd]

A Masterpiece. SHE should be the Poet Laureate

That is exactly what I think………if she were, we would all look forward to each important event in the country being celebrated by a brilliant poet. PA doesn’t only write great, amusing, poems. Years ago I heard her reading a poem about how she felt when her son left home….to go to University, I think it was. It was so moving, and so true.

[@davewilson4058]

Pam Ayres, you are absolutely the Icing on the Cake. It's not easy making me laugh these days as I've got a bit old and grumpy, but I laughed and laughed at your poem and I bet my kids would say, "That sounds just like Dad," If they heard it.

tom jones. But they were! I’ve seen her live shows around the country and watched every one of her dozens of tv shows! Do you mean you never saw her? She was awarded the MBE in 2004 for ‘services to comedy’. Her shows were 2 hours long on radio. She was active and such a hit in the 1990s/2000s and was still doing these shows in 2017/18. Excellent good clean fun. A lovely lady, .
