If you are under 65 ...

[CorporalJohn]

If you are under 65 do you know who these people are?

They were significant figures in their day, but now?
Bernard Levin
Katherine Whitehorn
Bernard Braden
Nemone Lethbridge
Jill Tweedie
Robin Day.

{They are in no particular order BTW}

Bernard Levin and Robin Day

Im early 50s

58 here. I have heard of Robin Day but dont know who he is! Never heard of the others.

Robin Day, yes. Not the others. I'm 51.

I'm 53, vaguely remember Robin Say, never heard of the others

Over 70 & know the whole lot. But I would not expect anyone younger than 65 to have heard of many of them

Why that choice of people?? They were not all that significant..........

Yes
Yes
No
No
Name rings a bell but not sure
Yes

I’m 55

Nemone Lethbridge was a barrister. Had some very famous twin clients. I’m not sure if she is still alive.

Katherine Whitehorn was famous in our house for her book, Cooking in a Bedsitter, which was my mother's and my, when I was young, culinary bible. It's also quite wittily written.

Robin Day- bow ties

I’m over 65 and have only heard of some of them.

My mum bought me this book when I living in a bedsit. It was very funny and practical too

63 and heard of all ex Katherine W

Jill Tweedie and Robin Day only. I'm 43. I only know of Robin Day before he's mentioned in The Crown!

61 here. Jill Tweedie and Robin Day yes, the others no.

Only Robin Day

No

Why do people start threads and then refuse to engage with their own thread ?

Same. Only heard of Robin Day.

And…? Don’t keep us all in suspense.

I'm 41 and I've not heard of a single one.

Google says she is, in her90s.

I recognise:

Bernard Levin
Katherine Whitehorn
Jill Tweedie
Robin Day

Not the other two

I can picture Robin Day but I don't remember him in anything.
Bernard Braden I only know as he was mentioned in Esther Rantzen's obituary.

Yes all of them are known

Me too x
