And swept the full heavy metal dustbins, full of ashes from the fire and all the household waste off the ground, onto their shoulders to manually tip it into the side or back of the bin-lorry then return it to where they found it at the back of your property.

Do you remember the 1970's TV comedy? "The Dustbin Men" It used to start with a lad shouting "Hey! Mum! It's the dustbin men". 😅

Wouldn’t laugh about it. Many of the houses (and some businesses) here in Guernsey are not (and/or cannot be) connected to the main sewage drain and have cess pits emptied on a regular basis.

"The Good Old Days with Leonard Sachs 😀"

Ah yes! The inimitable Leonard Sachs, a maestro of mirth, a sultan of sagacity, and a veritable fountain of fanciful phrases. His prognostications on "The Good Old Days" were a joy to behold, a coruscating blend of wit and whimsy that left audiences in stitches.

With his ventrilloquial virtuosity and a personality that sparkled like a panoply of pyrotechnics, he guided us through a plentitudinous parade of performers, each one more evocative than the last. His oscillatory movements, a symphony of silliness, added a touch of mountebankery to the proceedings, making us laugh and remember the good old days with concupiscence incarnate.

His loss was a catenatory one, leaving a chain of memories that will be cherished for years to come. His extraordinary exuberance of pizzazz, verbosity and plumacious presence are sorely missed.

Gratias ago pro humanitate tua. May I offer my most sincere and hyperbolic plaidoyer of gratitude, for your exquisite phrase has not only rekindled the warm glow of nostalgia but has also, in its understated majesty, rendered further tribute superfluous, thereby exemplifying the very essence of Leonard Sachs' own effortless mastery of the spoken word.
