A general expression for anyone born in Wiltshire, but predominantly in Devizes.

its origin came from stories of smugglers trying to recover casks of brandy from the river and telling customs officials they were trying to rake the moon from the water.

thespiceman

Hello @vikingqueen Yes that is correct the Cracker jack pencil and Blue Peter badge are awarded to you.

Well done to you.

Take care.

@thespiceman

I was given a Crackerjack pencil by Leslie Crowther who made his eyebrows dance for me when the Crackerjack team performed at the Christmas party held for the children of staff at the MoD depot where my mum worked - must've been about 1965.

I’d forgotten all about teletext! That’s brought back fond memories of a quiz game there was. Bamboozle or something I think it was called? I never got any questions right 😂

thespiceman

Hello @Hart86   I just remember the other ones Ceefax and Oracle.

Should bring them back.

Got confused the other night with viewing. Says on the programme I was watching switch to red button.

Did that pressed my red button on my remote.

Guess what TV went off  .

Old ones are the best ones lol.

Take care.

I can trace my maternal grandmother's ancestry back to homestead in the Mearns, Renfrewshire 1750 - does that qualify me for a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 passport❓

At age 8 I received a Blue Peter Badge via my Cub Scout troupe after appearing in a Gang Show doing a song with 6 others. I had a great voice until it broke and used to lead my school and church choirs. Now I only sing to frighten people, lol!
