Katie Boyle

Quote
In 1947 she married Viscount Boyle (now Earl of Shannon); the marriage was dissolved in 1955. The same year she married Greville Baylis, a racehorse owner who died in 1976. In 1979 she married for the 3rd time to Sir Peter Saunders, the theatre impresario who died in 2002.

I think I see a pattern developing here  scared2:

And neither Kathie Kirby (Singer) nor Katie Boyle (Much married, multi lingual TV presenter of, among other programmes, The Eurovision Song Contest) played the part of Katie in the OXO adverts ~ that was an actress called Mary Holland.

Ah…

My mother recalled how they would stain their legs with gravy browning and draw a line down the back with an eye liner for the seam.

She also had an apoplectic fit each time that Hovis advert proclaimed they had ‘real bread and real butter just after t’ war’

Have you ever tried drawing a straight line down the back of your own legs?

No, I thought not.

Get a felt tip.

Take your trousers off

Draw a line up the back of your own legs

Then tell me this was commonly going on in the war.

Even if you succeed, does it look like you are wearing stockings?
