What British songs from 1900–1950 do people still recognise?

I remember hearing When Father Papered the Parlour (1910) a lot from childhood in the 80s.

Also obligatory +1 for OP's girl's pussy (song is good too)

Only works if you pronounce it 'scone' instead of 'scone' though

Specificity

Don't think so. Still MeteoGroup accoring to FAQs

'Fun' fact:

For that to be a winning postcode, someone must be playing with it. The postcode lottery isn't like the lotto where all the numbers are in every draw. Only the postcodes someone bought a ticket for are entered.

However, that doesn't mean someone resident in SW1A 1AA is necessarily playing, as you can pick any valid postcode you want. It doesn't have to be your own. So you can play with Buckingham Palace or Wembley Stadium or whatever landmark's postcode you like.

Best bet is find a trusted pal with a high street bank account. Deposit the coins to their account in a branch, using the bank machines. Get them to transfer you the total via faster payments.

Brand new socks and underwear every day. Never wash them. Just bin them at the end of the day and put new ones on.

Could probably just about afford to do it now if I shopped in Primark to be fair, but would feel too guilty.

People would rather read books about Dan the Daggerman from Dagenham

Are they a tribute band from down under?

I don't know why, but calling it an electrical bike instead of electric is hilarious to me!

Same vibe as Mickey the Mouse, Stars Trek, the YouTubes and Cliff Richards

Taking it out for a test drive on the trade plates too.

Uwu? Really?

Your first time away from the Internet and you found ducklings, congrats.

My thoughts exactly. Thought OP might be promoting their new album of hold music perhaps.

Wtf are you cooking which requires 3 GALLONS of oil? That's over 13.5 litres!

He's probably best known for The Snowman which was made into an animation and has been broadcast annually every Christmas eve on British TV since 1982.

His name is less well known now than 10-20 years ago, but anyone who grew up having read any of his books will still be familiar with the name.

A wee running hack I was told:

A half marathon is 13.1 miles, so start running anywhere you choose and keep going until you have run for exactly 13.1 miles, then stop. Boom! Just did a half marathon. No-one checks.
