Twenty years
Weaver:
It is twenty years this month since my wife and I left London and moved to Skye. Seems like a long time too.
burakkucat:
And, if I remember the details that you told me about the move, Orange, a.k.a. Tiddy-Puss (or then Tiddy-Kitten), RIP, accompanied you on that adventure.
sevenlayermuddle:
Odd thing about 20 years is, it’s not what it used to be.
It was just over 20 years between the end of WW2 and all its tragedy, and the first broadcast of Dad’s Army, which exposed a “funny” side of WW2. Pursued of course by others, such as Allo Allo. I therefor surmise, in mid 20th century, 20 years was a long time.
These days, it is the blink of an eyelid. Can anyone imagine making a TV sitcom about the Iraq Wars, or the Nato’s interventions in Bosnia, while it is all so fresh in mind?
renluop:
Maybe that blink of any eyelid comes with age, do you think? Were shows like Dads Army and Allo Allo accepted because folk were around, who had been close or within the suffering caused by two WWs. I suggest that the shows were types of "Nil carborundum illegitimi" humour.
I read that Allo Allo was sold to German TV and well received!

Absolutely not, and on that I stand firm.
It is generally believed that “time getting faster” is an illusion caused by age. I disagree, I believe the speed of time really does fluctuate, regardless of age. ::)
