Hello to all my regular reader! Its you’re (Metterton and Match-) bright and breezy hostess and trained lady’s hairdresser Betty Carnaby here, and I’m more of a Frank-fan and a Nick-head than ever! Just the other afternoon I was watching Frank and Nick make you Sick (again!!) because you can go back to it and find things you haven’t noticed before which is what I think makes great art, like the bit where Frank makes a bit of banter about Nick’s wife who had the suicide and then Nick cries and walks out! Classic!! Like I say, I was watching that and I was drinking some Coststabber Chai Latte out of my Metterton and Matchbright one-of-a-kind mug that Elton had made for me and I’d got my framed picture of the pair of them although Nick’s off to one side so you can only see half of him, and I thought “Well, Betty, your living in a Metterton and Matchbright world and no mistake!” It makes me think that if only everyone would let Frank and to a lesser degree Nick into they’re hearts like I have then we might not live in such a divided society. Just a thought!! Elton and EFC Security are doing very well although there was at upset last night at a club called Fuesli, which might be a sort of breakfast that they have in Switzerland like muesli. Anyway, this man got beaten up with fruit and then fell down some steps and badly hurt his brain. Elton said it was shocking and that the worst thing was that the band that they had on that night had got a singer dressed as Hitler, only that reminded me about the Trubshaw's sketch where Nick was Hitler and Frank was a bearded Eva Braun and both of us were soon having a right old laugh even when we heard later that the man who fell downstairs had unhappily died. Ah well, I suppose it happens to all of us sooner or later only not with a pineapple. Until next time, keep on Franking and Nicking from you’re Metterton and Matchbright mad M.A.M.A,

Betty.

If I’m honest, I have been very low and for some time now I have been thinking that its time I put an end to this sight and didn’t spend so much time with all the Metterton and Matchbright business, although I never thought I’d hear myself typing that! But, wait! If you think this is the sad tail of a skilled lady’s hairdresser and courageous mother-of-one who is me and who is going to throw out all her rattles and prams just because nobody else thinks Frank and Nick make you Sick was any good and because all the Poles are still here, then you can think again!! You’re Match-chum and Metter-pal Betty, me, is back to her old self and as batty about mostly Frank and not quite so much Nick as ever! Its all because of something wonderful that happened to me just last night and not when Elton did some sick and I cleaned it up, but after that. What it was, was like the reverend Martin Luther King I had a dream although mine wasn’t about a better world or anything and it started out in Sainsbury’s and I was trying on hats even though they don’t sell hats in Sainsbury’s, but that’s just my crazy imagination for you! Anyway, then there was a bit that was underwater with Prince Phillip, and then the main bit of the dream where I was here in the house with Elton but Elton was dressed up in his suit and standing by the front door looking violent like when he does his security job. I was watching something on telly that was a bit frightening and in black and white, with all these horrible brain things crawling across a beach or it might have been a desert and there was a knock on the door. We’ve actually got a bell of course, but you know what dreams are like. So Elton says he’ll deal with it and I can hear him talking to somebody, and then who should he bring into the room, looking as pleased as punch, but his long-lost dad who of course was out of the picture before the poor lamb was even born and who he grew up troubled and a bit dangerous because of the lack of! Even though its been all these years he still looked just the same as when I was going out with him, and even though I’m an older lady now he said I was as pretty as ever and gave me a big kiss. He said he wanted us to be a proper family from now on and then he kissed me again only this time it went on a bit longer and I don’t know if I should say this but then we’d neither of us got a stitch on and we were having marital relations on the rug in front of the gas fire, and Elton was just standing there in his doorman’s posture and watching us with a big smile because he was so proud of us and happy for us. It all seemed so natural in the dream, and when my former boyfriend said that we should do it doggy-fashion Elton started giggling and applauding and then I woke up and I don’t know what it was but I felt that everything was going to be alright. I am in a much better mood about everything now and I am looking forward to everything the future brings unless of course its more Polish. Anyway, that’s all my news for now from your “sex machine” (in my dreams!!)

Well, I have voted for Brexit, at least in spirit because I forgot which day the referendum was, and now we have got our country back! The thing that decided me was the EU’s high-handed refusal to address the Metterton and Matchbright issue, and also that I don’t much like the Polish. This is good news for all us Match-Brits and Metter-fans, as now we have listened to good old Paul (Von Stroheim, naturally, not Weller Daniels or McCartney) and regained our independence, there is nothing to stop them showing repeats of You’ve Never had it So Good or Trubshaw’s Origami Frying Pan round the clock, if not on a proper channel then on one of the ones like Dave or one of them!!! Honestly I am just so excited and feel that even if I thought the referendum was on the Friday instead of the Thursday, I have really made a difference! I expect that in a month or so, after all the Poles have gone, we’ll be seeing the Frank and Nick revival really getting off the ground, by the end of the year at the very latest, and I will be rushed off my feet what with all the attention this sight will be getting from all the Johnny-Cum-Lately’s trying to jump under the Metterton and Matchbright bandwagon! You can expect more postages from me in the next week or two because as they say I’ve got a very good feeling about all this! Yours Frankly (and Nick-ly),

Betty

I have not been very well since all the business with my medicine which they have FINALLY sorted out! The amount of time it takes to be seen to on the NHS these days is shocking although in all honesty Elton losing his temper with that doctor probably slowed things down what with the court case and everything, but you can see how he’d feel frustrated and just happened to be holding a masonry bolt at the time. The state this country is in, I’m starting to think that that Paul Von Stroheim from GBIP talks quite a lot of sense. I know they say he’s a privately educated city trader with funny eyes, but you can tell by the way that you always see him with a half-smoked fag in one hand that he’s just the same as all the ordinary people in this land, or at least he is if they’re halfway through a fag. Although I have been very poorly I like to think that its my dedication to the memory of Frank and Nick although mostly Frank that has pulled me through along with all the health professionals and some morphine. To tell the truth, I’m feeling a bit down in the dumps about all the work I put into M.A.M.A.S like writing this and watching Frank and Nick Make you Sick over and over again and pretending to like Joan Bell, god rest her soul. Sometimes I think I must be the only person in this country who cares about Frank and Nick, although they are big all over the world in countries like Lithuania and when Nick went there in1971 they all called him Beloved Tramp Robot and made him Minister for Health. That is because in Lithuania they RESPECT great comedians who’ve had accidents with they’re faces, not like over here!!! This country is just getting worse and worse and John Littlerichard is right when he says about the political correctness going mad and I shouldn’t wonder if its the Brussels Bureau-Cats (or BBC � think about it!) who are stopping us from showing repeats of Perfectly Frank, and whatever happened to EvilMouse? Kids would of loved it! I know its not often you’ll hear me going on about politics, but being able to watch Metterton and Matchbright is something that effects all our lives and I’m sorry but this just makes my blood boil dry! Anyway, other than that I am enjoying life and enjoying Frank and Nick Make you sick, the bit about Frank’s family having to live in Sir Anthony Eden’s private parts still has me in stitches! I will do another postage soon if I am not too depressed about people not liking Metterton and Matchbright, which is as bad as racism when you think about it. Love and kisses from Betty ;{} ;{} ;{}

26. 11. 2012

Hello I am sorry if I was going on a bit and talking rubbish in my last postage on this sight but there was a mistake in my medicine that they should of now put right I will be talking to you soon to tell you all how its going love

betty.

Welcome all you Frank-o-philes and Nick-o-teens to M.A.M.A.S. which as everybody knows is not only a sight for women who have children although they are very welcome obviously but is in fact initials standing for the Metterton and Matchbright Appreciation Society. We have been here for more than fifteen years now and I would of thought that more of you would send you're letters and you're poems in but there's been nobody really since the late Joan Bell and she could be a bit half-hearted if I'm honest. Anyway, let's put Joan and the past behind us as we once more reach that most horrific of religious seasons and our thoughts turn to Saint Halloween whose day it is, when you see all the Frankensteins and little children looking frightened and what about Jimmy Savile? I admit that when the stories started about young girls I was septical as I am sure that more than one young girl would have found a light entertainment figure of that stature technically old enough to be her grandfather too good an opportunity to miss if she was honest but now that there's all the talk about dead bodies I'm afraid he's gone too far for me. The thought of somebody in an unhealthy love relationship with people who've been dead for ages turns my stomach to be frank, no pun intended!!! It makes me even more glad we've got Frank and Nick to bring us laughter in these dark times or at least we would if they were still alive. And speaking of people still being alive Elton was telling me he’d seen in the paper that Vince Shannon wasn’t any more. I don’t know if you remember him but he did that At Night when your Asleep song which for me has so many memories even though some of them are horrible to be fair. From what the paper said it was complications of the liver although in all the pictures on his L.P.s he doesn’t look like somebody with a complicated liver, he looks more like he’s got a liver that’s easy to understand, just like you and I, although of course his liver had been on Top of the Pops when it was inside his body, and ours haven’t been, because our livers aren’t famous ones. I read in a magazine that he’d had a difficult first marriage and polio when he was a child, although the first marriage wasn’t when he was a child, that was only the polio although I’m sure that was more than enough!!! It is a shame that he has passed away, bless his heart, even though I never much liked his other records, but at least as Elton said he doesn’t have to worry about Jimmy Savile. So until next time that's all for now from me, except to say that perhaps we could start a campaign to have Nicky masks in shops before next Halloween? Its just a thought. Keep Mettering and Matching. Love from Betty.

A big hello to all my fellow Match-brats and Metter-teenies and sorry again for not having done more updates but been very busy. In the paper I see Obama Bin Laden has been shot at last. I always thought he looked like Frank as that Bedouin Prince in the classic Laurence of Arabia take off on Trubshaw's. Frank got into trouble with the P.C. Brigade for wearing the brown make up and doing the funny voice, but when people say that is racist they don't what they are talking about, because I laughed my head off and as you know I am a person of colour unless they are saying I am a racist!!!




Anyway enough about Bin Laden. I am doing well myself and Elton is also doing well with EFC Security and getting a lot of work what with the way things are going. I wish you all the best of luck until the next time I update you which will be soon I promise. Lots of love or L.O.L. as they say now. Betty

Hello again to all my friends and fans out there in what I call Metter-town in the county of Match-borough. Just a few lines to let you know that Elton and his old mum are doing well although not so well as the bankers and fat-cats who have bought the ecology to a standstill obviously!!! Elton says he wishes EFC Security could get a bale-out and that he'd shut Gordon Browns other eye if he got the chance. Of course he's only joking although he would really do it definitely. I have written a letter to the BBC and said it's about time they put Perfectly Frank on again if they are going to show any old rubbish but have yet to hear back, I expect it's the same old story about things going missing and getting taped over and bursting into flames it makes you wonder why we pay our license money. Elton says that the detector vans aren't really there or perhaps that they are not really vans I can't remember. Oh well that is all my news but I promise on the "Wholly Burble" as Nicky would say that I will be updating you more often from now on perhaps every six months fingers crossed. OXO from Betty which is kisses and hugs and not OXO yours Betty 

17. 2. 2 006

Hello it's my birthday tonight and I have really let my hair down but it makes you think I'm nearly fifty and what have I done. And Frank's been gone for over thirty years but of course he is still alive for me. And Nicky of course I didn't mean to leave him out. I am sorry about no updates and my resolution is that I will do this every year at least. Lots of love I'm going to bed now that is all my news love Betty

23. 9. 2003

Hello, Betty here again. I know that today is always hard for us Metter-fans and Match-heads and especially for me. But then think about all the soldiers in Iraq and what they have to face, a lot of them a lot younger than Elton is and married with families, not that 29 is too old to still be single and I'm only using Elton as an example. And besides a young man running his own security and high risk escort firm won't be single very long unless all the girls these days are lesbians and not just Madonna when its suits her!!! ; {} !!! Anyway that's only my opinion of the War in Iraq and I don't claim to understand all the politics, who could? But to end on a light note I saw on the news about some of our lads being killed by the friendly fires and I couldn't help thinking about the classic Murderer sketch on Trubshaw's Origami Frying Pan. "Look, I don't want you sitting near me. You're a murderer!" "Yes, a friendly murderer!" As you might imagine I was soon laughing again and I think that's what we should remember Frank and Nick for today, and that's the gift of laughter. Love and kisses and I'll be updating this next spring at the latest, perhaps even after Christmas. All the best, Betty

7. 8. 2001

Dear All, not much to report and not much going on in world at moment although I expect it will get livelier next month!!! I've not decided how to commemorate the 28th anniversary of our tragic loss myself yet, but I have been writing to the BBC and am sure that they will be planning some sort of special night or perhaps season! Will let you know more with my next update in a month or so. Kind regards, Betty

19. 1. 2000

Well here we are in the future and no sign of all the millennium bugs!! Elton took me out on New Year's Eve to the club where he works and everybody was so nice to me, you can tell that they all must really like him. Of course the future is nothing like Frank and Nick imagined it in the famous "Robot Tramp" bit from You've Never Had It So Good because there aren't real robots and if there were and they were sick down themselves it wouldn't be all nuts and bolts and watch parts, but that is the genius of comedy, they weren't trying to be Tomorrow's World! But enough talk about science, I have to get Elton to help me to do this so I'm no one to talk! I will try to be more regular from now on with updating you but largely it depends on how much people show an interest in Matchbright and Metterton so come on, do your bit. Until next time, with lots of love, Betty

16. 4. 1999

Hello everybody. I know that many of you will have heard by now about the sad death of our assistant chairman Joan Bell who passed away over Christmas although as you know Joan hadn't had much to do with the society in recent years although I don't blame her for that and as she said not everybody wants to hear about Matchbright and Metterton every moment of their lives and you have to respect that.

But let's not remember Joan with bitterness and just accept that people are different in how much devotion to Frank and Nick they have in them and not think any worse of Joan because she turned out not to have very much at all when it came down to it. I want us to remember Joan through the beautiful poetry that she sent to the sight over the years even though I of course helped her with a lot of it. In other news, Elton's birthday night came and went without any trouble and I really think he's settling down although he's always been a good boy really and he's never what Nick would of called a "juvenile detergent"! Anyway, all our condolences to Joan's family as it can't of been easy, and I will be updating this sight with more news from the busy world of Matchbright and Metterton in the summer so until then lots of love and remember to "Put That Light Out"! yours Betty

31. 7. 1998

Yes, I'm positive you are all as surprised as me to be hearing from me so soon after my last postage but then I am sure you will all know by now the reason why! Yes it is Channel Four or "Channel Poor" as I call them after seeing their so-called documentary (a half hour!) on Matchbright and Metterton who aren't here to defend themselves from what I'm sorry but as far as I can see in my opinion is just muckraking. I spoke on the phone to Joan about it and although she couldn't talk long as she had something on the stove she agreed with everything I said. Honestly Mr. (or is it MS.!) Channel Four some of us were looking forward to your program thinking at last Frank and Nick were going to get the recognition they deserved and what did we get instead but the same old ignorant stories hashed up all over again! For your information MS. Channel Poor, Frank Metterton did not do black magic in the Golden Dawn he was in the Stella Matutina, don't you know anything? And anyway he was only in his twenties and when we are young we all make mistakes, look at my Elton not that he has done black magic but just as bad. As for going over poor old Nick's divorce shame on you! Many people get divorced these days, and sadly many people kill themselves, as perhaps you yourself might have done in the past and it is nobody's fault. Nicky Matchbright was a lovely kind man and I'm sorry but that wife he had that did the suicide just didn't know how lucky she was and when you talked to Nick's daughter that was really scraping the bottom of the barrel. It was clear she had the mental illness probably from her mother and anyway you couldn't hear what she was saying with all the mumbling she did so how you can tell Nick was a bad father from that I don't know, she could of been saying he was brilliant! And then of course we have our old friend the drugs but Frank himself admitted he'd got a problem and paid his debt to society when he went in the mental home instead of doing prison and if somebody working there falls out of a window years later what's that got to do with anything, it's just a coincidence? So wake up Channel Poor and give us Match-fans and Metter-maniacs out here in television land the tribute we deserve. Other than that I am doing very well with the hairdressing and I will talk to you soon. Lots of love from your friend in M and M Madness, very best Betty

17. 2. 1998


Happy Birthday to me! Yes, it is the big four oh and I was just looking in my mirror and thinking "Betty you don't look half bad for a woman your age who's had a baby especially a big six foot four one like Elton although he wasn't that big when I had him obviously." I haven't got Joan's card yet but then it is quite early and we haven't had second post yet. I think they still do second post, and even if they don't these days I shouldn't wonder if the postmen don't open the letters and steal all the cards themselves from what Elton told me when he was working there before they let him go. Other than my birthday the big news in Metter-land is that Channel Four have announced that they are planning a big serious documentary on our favourite funsters! All I can say is its about time when they have been gone off our screens for nearly twenty or thirty years. Why haven't the B.B.C. ( The British Boring Corporation) done something like this before when they have all of those great old shows getting all dust on them in a cupboard, so hats off to Channel Four or "Channel Fair" as I suggest we all start calling them. At last things are really happening and the boys are getting the attention we always knew they would which I suppose means we will be getting a lot of visitors to this sight from now on as trendy people start to jump on our bandstand but we will all know we were here first and that we were there for Frank and Nick before it was the latest fashion! Anyway as it is my birthday I will take a day off now from my hairdressing business which is doing very well and go down Spinadisc in Abington Street and spend my record token from Elton, I hear that Frank and Nick Make You Sick is out on C.D. and although it was definitely not one of my favourites at least it is something. I'll talk to you all soon, love Betty

31. 8. 1997

Hello everybody and a big hello to our deputy chairman the fantastic Joan Bell. I suppose that like me you are hearing the news about Princess Di and all the business about Tony Blare and the new labour and thinking when is somebody going to get back to the important things like You Know Who and You Know Who! I have of course written to the people doing the millennium Dome and told them it would be good to have statues of Frank and Nick inside it and that it would make people in Northampton proud of themselves so that they didn't just drink and beat people up at bus stops and get in trouble with the police and worry their mothers who are already taking a lot of tablets, and a woman called Sarah wrote back and said that actually they were thinking about having something from Northamptonshire in the Dome so fingers crossed! As long as it is not that thing where you go round a person's body in a sausage and come out I don't like to think where, what they were planning for Corby when they shut the steel down (just joking!)! On news closer to my home my hairdressing business is going down like a storm with all my customers, and I am proud to present another fantastic poem from my good friend the fantastic Joan Bell which I think is fantastic and which you can find on this sight somewhere if my son has done something right for a change and not something violent. That is all for now but I will definitely be back in touch before Christmas bringing you more glad tidings from the crazy world of Matchbright and Metterton. See you then with lots of love, from Betty

3. 3. 1997

Hello to everyone and especially to a very talented new visitor to this sight, Mrs. J. Bell who tells me that she's a lady in her sixties who lost her husband Nicholas (!) very recently and has been looking on the internet for something to do. Joan if I may call her that has been a fan of the boys since she was a little girl in the war and listening to Put That Light Out while she was being bombed, when I dare say that having a show called that would have been an important reminder and probably saved a lot of people's lives from the Germans. She says "I went off them when they started trying to look like the Beatles with all the hair so I'm not what you'd call a big admirer but I shouldn't mind hearing about them now and again." Well I say good luck to you Joan and I think its good in another way because it shows that the Matchbright and Metterton appreciation society is for people of all ages and not just fit women in their thirties such as like I myself am. Joan has written a lovely poem about her memories of the good old days in the war that I am getting Elton my son to put up on this sight so you can all think its alright as much as I did. I am very excited about Joan joining us so soon after setting up this sight and think it is a sign that we will soon have too many members to handle and not just a lonely pensioner like Joan bless her heart. Anyway I expect to be updating this sight a lot more often from now on say every fortnight at most because of all the Matchbright-and-Mettermania that I think we'll be seeing a big revival of any day now! Frank and Nick will of, literally, "Never Had It So Good"! With lots of love and a big kiss for brave Joan, yours Betty

17. 2. 1997

Well here I am on only my second postage and I'm as mad about Frank and Nick as ever. I only have to think about Doctor Bottomcomplex in The Trick Cyclist and I burst out laughing, its just his name has me it stitches! They were a classic double act because one of them was different to the other which was hilarious like with Little and Large where one was little and the other one was large or Cannon and Ball where one of them was shaped a bit like a cannon and the other was a bit like a ball or Morecambe and Wise where one of them was from Morecambe and the other one was wise and so it was with Frank and Nick where one was very dare I say it sexy for an older man and just had something about him and Nick looked like he did on the other hand. Although Nick was a lovely kind man of course and he could take a joke against himself and of course with Frank he had to. I remember when I met them and Nick was saying how it was always nice to meet their younger fans, and quick as a flash Frank said "Well don't scare her away with your ugly effing face" only Frank didn't say effing he used the eff word itself if you take my meaning. It was really witty just like when they were on telly and we all laughed about it except Nick who went along and pretended he was really hurt just to make it even funnier, they really were brilliant comedians and Frank's hair, any woman would of envied him! As for my own life, I have got one you know, its not all Matchbright and Metterton all the time, I have too many customers to handle at my hairdressing business and have to turn them away! And guess what today is my thirty-something birthday! My son Elton hasn't got a job since there was somebody else stealing things and he was blamed because of racism so he couldn't get me a present this year but he sent me a card and said that he would change and that is the best present that a young mother could have except obviously for Nicky Matchbright's real Robot Tramp costume that he actually wore in You've Never Had It, where someone said they auctioned it and it went for almost a hundred and thirty pounds! Dream on Betty! Well, I think that is all for now but I will be back next week with more news on the wave of interest in Matchbright and Metterton that is "sweeping the country like the biggest clothes- brush you can imagine" to quote from the classic "Jesuit Moths" sketch from Trubshaw's Origami Frying Pan. (Incidentally there is a joke hidden in that name and I wonder if any of you were as slow in getting it as I was, what it is is that Elton says Origami is apparently when Chinese people make things out of paper so if you made a frying pan out of paper it would just catch fire and wouldn't be any good!) I will talk to you all soon and thank you for the many messages of support I hope to get. Yours Matchbright-and-Mettertonly, Betty

28. 12. 1996

Hello to everybody on the internet! My name is Elizabeth Carnaby and this is the first news from the Matchbright and Metterton Appreciation Society or M.A.M.A.S which is good because I think it would mostly be women who would be interested in Frank and Nick who you can tell are my heroes and most likely it would be women who were mothers or "mamas" like as I myself am. I am in my early late thirties and in fact it is my son Elton who has set up this sight for me on the Angelfire internet for his Christmas present to me. I daren't ask what it must have cost him! Elton is a postman at the moment and has done very well in the run-up to Christmas. He has not said anything himself but I think they might soon promote him to a captain in the post force for doing so well, which would be one in the eye for all those people at the schools he was sent to who were prejudiced because of nothing more than the colour of his skin and the way he spoke and behaved and what he'd done to hardly any people at all because they were disrespectful and called him a "black b------" when he is in fact mixed race and is only technically a b------. Elton only did what anybody would have done, well perhaps not everybody but at least some people, probably a lot of people if you count people back in history and in other countries only of course they wouldn't have done it with a mobile phone if that indeed is what Elton indeed did and not just something that the so-called Babylon police and so-called Babylon doctors and Babylon anaesthetists at the emergency room said that he'd indeed done! Anyway, to return to Nicky Matchbright and Mr. Sexy Eyes Frank Metterton, I have been a fan of theirs since I was a little girl and saw them on Trubshaw's Origami Frying Pan. Plus Elton is very fussy about hygiene so I should of thought that's the last thing he'd do! I know that its every girl's dream but when I was fifteen I actually met Nicky Matchbright and Frank Metterton. It was the summer of 1973 and I will always remember it, it was an important part of my growing up and I couldn't of believed that what was happening to me was really happening if you know what I mean? In actual fact I know you won't believe this but I had got a ticket to the show on that fateful Saturday night and if it wasn't for a stupid accident with my taxi I would of been in there with them! I stood in the car park and I saw all the fire it was terrible, I was in a right state and I remember there was this policeman there and he wasn't much older than me and he was as frightened as I was! In the lounge you could hear on the jukebox it was the Vince Shannon song, At Night When You're Asleep and it went horrible when it melted. But do you know when I went home that night and cried myself to sleep as you can imagine and Frank and Nick came to me in a wonderful dream, I think Nick was there too and Frank told me jokes that were so funny I woke myself up laughing and somehow I knew that it would all be alright. The jokes were only funny in the dream by the way and when I woke up they were just rubbish but if you had been there in my dream believe me you would of laughed too. The only one I can remember is how demons are long winded. It was something like "Why can you keep a demon in a triangle, because they can never get to the point!" which as I say isn't funny told like that but if you could have heard in my dream how Frank told it you would of screamed. I like to think it was Frank's way of telling me that I should carry on his memory and of course Nicky's although who could forget a face like that, and that I should keep giving the gift of comedy to people, not just by buying them Matchbright and Metterton things for Christmas as I do with Elton but in other ways as well and that is why I am doing this net sight. What else can I tell you about myself, well I am a successful lady's hairdresser with my own shop and am still what you would call good looking and I love Matchbright and Metterton it goes without saying! My favourite three sketches in order of comedy goodness are The Trick Cyclist, Robot Tramp and either "I Once Had a Talking Leg" or "Jesuit Moths" or "Edith Sitwell is Alec Douglas Home dressed up". Or the one where they were dressed as worms in a coffin or "Laurence of Arabia" obviously, there are so many it is impossible to decide! I hope that you share my love of the great M and M and that you'll join me because together we could change the world so that there was more Matchbright and Metterton for everybody to enjoy. I dare say I will write some more of this in a day or two I am so excited! You will have to watch out for me or else I'll start getting on your nerves with all my Matchbright and Metterton chatter (only joking � I hope!)! Wishing everybody a happy Matchbright Christmas and a Metterton new year, lots of love from your new friend Elizabeth (Betty) Carnaby Lady's Hairdresser
