The repeat of ‘Villages  by the Sea’ on tv caused Ian Crawford (FS 51-55) to write:
          
          “You may be interested to  learn that my sport at school was golf, and that I remember that on one  occasion the Headmaster Mr Wykes (not a golf admirer) stood next to me on the  high ninth tee when I was the Captain of Golf and asked why my long light blue  stocking were round my ankles. To this I replied that it was the Captain’s  decision on all hot days. He ordered me to pull them up. I was not impressed!
          
        From that tee you could  easily see the Isle of Man, and for the first time in my long life we are going  on a four-night holiday to the island and I will be able to see St Bees Head  easily. So I shall think of my very happy rounds of golf that I can so easily  remember on the golf course.”
