Quote: A Horseradish @ 16th January 2015, 2:49 PM GMTHGT is Suffolk Man. I feel he is happiest in his own tradition. Unfortunately, since the 1950s, the media have got their claws into every nook and cranny. Consequently, like all others of his generation, mine and yours, he was served such a distinctive version of "the teenager" that he interprets his later middle age as being centenarian. Luckily, I have semi-inadvertently steered him into some ridiculous notion that he goes to work on a county horse. The Radish is having none of it. But it is best that he is there in his head than regretting he no longer rocks with the caveman like Tommy Steele. I hope that this has helped to clarify the position.
Tommy Steele is even a bit before my time!

Oi got ma little grey Fergie, which I roide alla time bor and bor, is she a goer! 
Dead right, very standoffish and hard to get to know if you are Suffolk born and bred, but once they've taken to you, you have a friend for life.
