    Ann and Barry got into a spot of bother with the law. :/ Probably because it was a simpler time with kids being happy enough with jam on toast, a football and an odd but of telly. Now they have too much and can't be kept happy.

    Mammy doing all the housework and Daddy doing the garden didn't go down well with PC campaigners!
    Great books though, hard to get your hands on a copy all the same

    I remember the past tense was used when they visited the zoo. The other books were written in the present. Brings back good memories as well. :)

    No, it was because jam was code for crack cocaine....

    'Bran' was a 'hopscotch' reading book about a black poodle I think. Dunno if it was irish or english. That's a long time ago-mid to late seventies I'd imagine.

    I know this thread was started a few years ago but i just stumbled on it,

    Bran was the dog from the Fas books, the pet of Ronan and Aine.

    I think it's safe to assume that after all the cakes and jam Anne and Barry scoffed over the years they would now be a pair of real porkers.
