She was talking about the cbeebies show The Night Garden which has a cult following, apparently. On R4's Front Bottom (Row) presented by Mark Pompous (Lawson)

Didn't hear it though!

Thank you!

Ah, right. I honestly didn't know there was a show called Front Row, or who it was hosted by. So I assumed she really had been talking about front bottoms, and the various terms people have for them [foreigner]

comes out from under chair for a moment, stands straight with hand on heart and promises:
"I shall never ever start a thread again with quite so little thought."

But of course ML is very fine and all that but he is so full of himself that it makes me want to lie down and take medication. I didn't mean he is what you wrote lillapin just that it needs it's self importance reduced at every opportunity!
Thanks Aloha for illuminating the darkness!

Why do people throw around the term 'offended' so easily?

Finding something funny or ridiculous is different from getting offended by it.

And let's face it, The Night Garden is freakish.
