It has come to my attention that Mr Mags is no longer taking the responsibility of hosting Sunday Music seriously. Sometimes Sunday Music turns up on a Monday, or worse, Tuesday. THIS IS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH. We need consistency. We deserve better. We need to be able to come together at regular intervals to reflect; to think about the week ahead, behind, above, beyond, and last Thursday. Mr Mags is NOT fulfilling is duties as proprietor of the event, so I am staging an intervention. From now on I will be the hostess with tea and crumpet on a Sunday; I will select an appropriate tune; I will say something fitting about the philosophy of baking products, or knitting, or the battle of Hastings. It will all happen HERE. ON A SUNDAY. EVERY SUNDAY.
To begin my reign, I bring you this:-
And now let us reflect, and hope for a peaceful week ahead.
Wonky Words 
Tea and crumpet…what? just ONE crumpet to share among all of us? And before anyone says that crumpet, without an article, means another kind of crumpet…the same response applies. Our name is legion and we are many…
Oh dear, I seem to have got in a bit of a bugger’s muddle, don’t I?
I shall just go back and play your music again…

Dinah – Hmmmm, you raise an interesting point. I will ponder it. Probably best to just listen to the music and ignore my ramblings. It is still early here.

Wot, just one crumpet, no coffee, no cherry bakewells, no peppermint Aero? Such spartan fare isn’t quite ticketyboo. And the promised commentary on the Battle of Hastings hasn’t materialised. Most disappointing. However, the popular ditty still hits the spot after so many years. “You choose your leaders and place your trust, As their lies wash you down and their promises rust” Indeed.

Nick – Sadly this tune continues to be relevant, whichever decade it’s played in.
All I can say is that I have a very big crumpet. And there will be butter. Why didn’t I just lay on the scones and ignite the debate about what goes on first – jam or cream?

But please make sure it’s proper clotted cream. None of yer plastic squirted-out-of-a-can stuff.
Oh, wait! I suppose Elfin Safety say you can’t have clotted cream now? Back to your big crumpet then.

We still have clotted cream, Dinah!! I think the squirty stuff is banned in Devon and Cornwall though.

I share Dinah’s misgivings about the singularity of the crumpet, and suspect a wilful act of linguistic devilment. All the same, jolly nice with Jam.
Hmm, Bakewells and crumpet … why is a little bell ringing at the back of my mind?

Years of smoking in my youth has scuppered any chance of a successful singing career I sound more like Lemmy than Binnie Hale. Saying that though, I once sang a rousing rendition of Stand By Your Man at the Bay Horse many years ago I could see the audience covering their mouths with their hands, tears in their eyes and their shoulders shaking, overcome with emotion.
Do you pronounce scone ‘scone’ or scone?

My voice has the same effect on an audience, Mitzi! I bring them to their knees! It beggars belief that I haven’t been offered a recording contract.
I used to say ‘scone’ as in cone, but recently I’ve switched to ‘scon’ as in on. I don’t know why?

Mr Devine – Yeah, let’s try to NEVER refer to the butter stick incident – after all, it was nothing that a light dusting of talcum powder couldn’t cure. Ahem.
Please be prepared next Sunday, Mr Devine. I am under instructions from Jon to provide sequins and baubles, so you have been warned. That is all.
