  • It's NEVER to early for a Christmas market...Is It?
    Nov 19 2024

    As we discovered when we visited Bristol's Broadmead Christmas market in early November, you best save your money first. Or, as you would have heard if you saw us, 'how much?'

    We did though splash out on lunch whilst we were there, well not so much splashed out on lunch but took out a mortgage on a Bratwurst. Which according to the seller, was a sausage with cheese in the middle that would ooze out when you bit into it. I recommend trying one but don't make the mistake of showing the cheese dribble out to anyone which incidentally reminded us of our misspent youth in the back of a Ford Popular if you get our drift.

    We also sampled Mead from https://hivemindmead.com who as you will hear gave us a very good insight and understanding of their products not only that we sampled their wares. It was a very nice alternative to our usual cup of hot chocolate, not only that but here we were in Bristol's Broadmead sampling mead, which broadly speaking made for a good day out. Cheers.

  • We have now resulted to touting for business
    Nov 3 2024

    Yes, we have been so polite now for so many years, all to no avail. So we thought it was about time we came straight out with it.

    We are on the verge of making ourselves the face and name of the local KFC. As you will hear we aren't at all fussed with the burger companies but are rather partial to a bit of breast now and then, (usually then rather than now). We believe we are onto a winner, (another tagline winner, winner, chicken dinner). The biggest promotion, we believe will undoubtedly secure the deal is that we are already two-thirds of the way to securing the KFC contract with the F & C, Ford and Criddle.

    To find out the full extent of our winning pitch listen to the podcast and be part of the new campaign that will have people flocking to their nearest restaurant (KFC of course).

    I'm off now to beat the queues.

  • Do you remember 'Lucky Bags' or Smorgasbord
    Sep 24 2024

    Yes, the opening question remember the time when you were a youngster, you would be bought the 'Lucky Bag' treat? So-called as you didn't know what was going to be in them, what you knew was there would likely be a lot of 'stuff' usually rubbish sweets and toys.

    Welcome to this epic Old Gits/Brits Podcast, is it full of rubbish and toys, well I leave you to decide the first part and yes we are always open to being 'toyed' with. If only...........

    Well if you don't deem it a Lucky Bag, how about a smorgasbord of chatter? We cover everything, from radio presenter Zoe Ball to Shakespeare even our very own Pantomimes with a new one for this year just finished being written.

    If nothing else stand back and stare in astonishing amazement at how we managed to cram so much intelligent conversation in such a small space.

    Oh finally enjoy it.

    One more finally, maybe not too much intelligent conversation, but as a regular listener you already knew that.

  • Gen Z's zzzzzzzzzzz And for those that recall Johnnies!
    Sep 10 2024

    Those Gen z's are at it again. Don't they make you sleepy listening to them drone on and on? Well, it certainly gets 'our goat' as Chris will say. We three are fully paid-up members of the i Generation and for those that do not know the 'i' is for invisible. Yes to those wonderful Gen Z (ers) they don't even know we lot exist, as of course the world now revolves around them.

    Our little story this week stems from a promotion for a holiday home that a Gen Z (er) advertised using THEIR language which we just couldn't understand, however not to be outdone a member of the 'i' generation did the same back. Mind you we didn't understand either of them so what that makes us is anyone's guess.

    We then moved on to 'Johnnies' now you have to be a certain age, to know what these were known by members of the 'i' generation. Whereas the Gen Z (ers) know them as a Franger.

    Now even I am confused, can I suggest you listen in and find out for yourself what on earth we are talking about?

    Good luck out there.

  • Fancy a date, go to the supermarket (Not that sort of date)
    Sep 4 2024

    Historically you went to the supermarket to buy your food. Now though, you can (apparently) get a lucky charm for your arm or even a sugar daddy. Oddly enough, these words sound like food, so how about an upside-down pineapple?

    Yes if all you wanted was a pineapple and it ended upside down in your trolley or basket, you could find yourself 'bumped' as it is now the sign you are looking for a partner. Even worse or possibly better if you have chocolates alongside, that's a sign you want more than a partner you are looking for a sexual partner. Even more so if you then visit the perfume section you are ready and raring to go.

    It's all a bit too much for us Old Gits, we decided to send John to the supermarket to do a bit of research and asked him if he would buy 2 melons and a cucumber. He came back with a banana and two plums. It must be an age thing.

    Ah well enjoy the banter x
