Most of them embarrass me now, looking back.
It was the start of the process of Americanising a remote and introverted society, though we didn’t know it at the time, much as Albania doesn’t realise it today.
Nor did we know that it would lead to our abandoning almost every tradition we had, and nurture a savage, violent hoodie-clad underclass who felt entitled to every hand-out the could screw from us.
Ah no – I’m only joking. It was Mister Ed.

LG – I think it was Anything Goes that showed Mr. Ed. It was in black and white and Mr. Ed was a talking horse. The theme song went… (really showing my age here now LOL)..
“A horse is a horse of course of course,
And no-one can talk to a horse of course,
That is of course unless the horse is
The famous Mr. Ed”
Please tell me you remember it now after all that! ha haha
