I watched Days of Our Lives for about 6 months more than 30 years ago, and for a few years I watched 'Home and Away' but gave it up a couple of years ago. Isn't that pathetic?<BR/><BR/>Also love 'Wire in the Blood' and 'Midsommer Murders' and several other English shows.<BR/><BR/>Do you still like classical music, Meggie?Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33880433.post-89391910707543552112007-10-13T11:04:00.000+10:002007-10-13T11:04:00.000+10:00I never watch soaps.

I have no idea how it happened, or what there was about the show that caught my attention, but I was hopelessly hooked for a year or more. <BR/><BR/>My wife loves those British serial programs and I simply cannot deal with them at all.
