  • Your Dad … had a “Ronald Colman” moustache.  He was a good-looking man your dad.  All the ladies were after him. I had to give one or two a piece of my mind.

  • We used to make our own hats … your Aunty and I … back in the 1920s when we were young. You bought your own felt shape, steamed it to fit, put on the trim and … Voilà! People used to say I looked like Gloria Swanson … which I did, if I do say so myself.

  • Never mind “mothers in heads”. That hat is definitely a mistake and I do know about hats, dear. Anway what has “the mother” got on its head? Looks like a crown. Who does she think she is? The Queen?  

  • I’m sure that there are plenty of things that Syb and I will be talking about. My hair, for one thing. How lucky I am to have my father’s hair, so thick and curly. But perhaps I should get it cut properly. And use my father’s favourite hair product – Vaseline.

  • Finally, I made the The Hat. My first… rather rough…. lip-synced animation .
