Bless em' I say, these women keep our country going and are our mums and grans, what is left of our Country today is largely down to these stalwart ladies. I loved the tv programme Jam and Jerusalem as it seemed to encapsulate what the WI is all about.

Papers are short of news? The captain judged their costumes and wasn't in the least fazed according to one newspaper account. I don't expect the publicity is doing his book sales any harm either.

On the midnight news on R4 last night it was reported that the institute's next talk is scheduled to be "a history of ladies of the night in Bideford". Members are not required to attend in character.

I remember a cartoon (by Shobba, if anyone remembers the Barnsley baird):
Ambulance arriving, siren blaring, at road accident scene, where already parked is a panel van signed "Little Old Ladies with Hot Sweet Tea". A biker lying prone on the road is being revived with the same magical substance.
Speech bubble, from ambulance:
"Bu**er it, the old bats have beaten us again."

What a lovely story... the WI are a fun group of ladies. Their Calendars Girls are always fun.

I bet the woman kneeing down in the photo wished she had positioned her telescope in a different place!

Yes, I suppose we chaps should be grateful that appliances of extensible length are named after telescopes...

'Little Old Women With Hot Sweet Tea' disguises a lot of potential mischief. Behind the classes in 'Dandelion Marmalade' are training sessions in Krav Maga hand-to-hand combat skills. The gentle image of the WI conceals a well-trained and equipped cadre of guerrilla fighters and 'stay-behinds' like the discreet but notorious 'Honourable Artillery Company'.....
