Yep, Hilda Baker, talking about 'Cynthia', "She went out with a boy last night, y'know, didn't you? Didn't you go out with a boy last night, Cynthia?!!!?" All hilarious stuff, eh ??

Hilda Baker was in a comedy set in Nelson or there abouts about a pickle factory, I think it was called Nearest and Dearest

It was Hilda who I first heard saying " Oo, you big girls blouse' and " what time is it? I'll have to get a little finger on this watch.

Sorry, I forgot, I think the 'Pickle Factory' also starred Jimmy Jewel from the 'Jewel and Wariss' comedy act. Jimmy was in quite a few films including 'The Krays', and was a good actor. Does anyone remember the Kray twins terrorizing London in the 50's?

I remember as a kid watching Jimmy Jewel and Ben Warris in a show at Blackpool, just before they split up. They were my favourite comedy act at the time, though I liked Jimmy James??? and that goofy chop who stammered and claimed to have an elephant in his matchbox. A neighbour of mine claimed to have lived round the corner from the Krays when he lived in the East End. Linda , Kray Fish? groan....[]

My cousin was a clergyman in the East end of London about the time of the Kray twins, he never mentioned them. I remember my aunt being very worried about him as he was still young and it was his first post, but he enjoyed his time there.

I agree about Jimmy Jewel being a good actor.Was lucky enough to see many comedy actors and other more serious theatre performances of all kinds at Blackpool.Jewel and Warriss were amomg my favourites.
In later years I saw a TV performance by Jimmy Jewel as an aging pantomime artist renewing his part as the pantomime goose.It was so full of pathos and feeling and superb acting on his part it brought a tear to my eye.In fact I wrote to him about it and got a courteous reply.
