Chris, I always used to do well with a TV programme "Face the Music" with Joseph Cooper. David Attenborough sometimes was a guest and Joyce Grenfell. I also do well with classical clips on University Challenge. I am now being called to go out so bye for now :)

Something Joyce Grenfell quoted on "Face the Music" has always stayed with me. Silly, but I like it!

Richard Strauss
Called his cat "Powse"
But Claude Debussy
Called his cat "Poosy"

I love that.
One of Joyce's short poems was read at my husband's funeral
"If I should go before the rest of you........."

I would have been in tears, jazzy - in fact I am now.

Oh no Chris . Sorry. If I had gone first, he would have read it for me. On to more cheerful things. I am multi-tasking, chatting to about 8 friends at the same time on FB and answering questions on another (non-crossword) forum. I need more coffee and some fresh air :)

No worries, jazzy - you've heard of "Lord Lundy", perhaps?

OOh yes ! I have a book of H.B. poems. My favourites

Mentioning poets,I had Pam Ayres for 2 d- I thought she might have been in a reality programme at some time but now I know It`s wrong, having got 12 ac. May I have a hint, please ? Mags.

Good offer, mags! However "Brings up" (in the baby sense) is outside the "poor Amy".

Thank you, Chris E. Got it now ! Mags.
