I went to see Mike & Bernie Winters in a pantomime when I was a child - think it was Cinderella - the memory is very vague! I took the two older boys to see Sooty in Goldilocks & the Three Bears a few years ago- my eldest has always been a big Sooty fan - he went on stage with him once at one of the Sooty shows and danced - I was so shocked as he is quite shy! |

Its fun really though. I liked Mother Goose, and there is a sort of story to it... You are right of course POE'rs normally at Christmas, or what was it to be called Winterval, or something stupid? |
