Stallard12 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Yesterday I saw the report of Vera Lynn's death. I guess my dozens of 8 tracks, tapes and cd's will now be priceless. She has always been a central figure in my nostalgia fantasies. During the war, my mother, an old mill girl, couldn't stand her "cos she talks too posh!". RIP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 A very talented singer. it is just a pity that the only song that people think she sang was "whale meat again". I was surprised at her age though, when i first heard the report on the news i thought they said 93 but i was on the phone at the time. when i managed to catch the full report and found out that she was 103 i was amazed. It does seem to me though that a lot of the people born in that era live to a great age. My in laws were both in their nineties when they passed away as was quite a few of my wife's family.

asperity Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 My dad, who was in the RAF during the war, couldn't stand her. "Forces sweetheart? Not mine!" 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
