This was the same exact criteria I used back in my dating days. Forget compatability or common interests or even physical attraction...swimming ability made or broke my relationships.

[sirtinycreep]

@electrogeek77 Really? LOL.

[BuddyRamone]

the girls voice.....was she a member of the pigletts who sang johnny reggae ?...stab in the dark....

[sirtinycreep]

No, I think it's Carol Hawkins...

I could be wrong.

[sunnypatel66]

I remember this being shown on TV back in the early 70's, still remember it well though, maybe my memory is not going after all !!

[sirtinycreep]

@sunnypatel66 Still quality stuff, eh!

[DeathByPlaneCrash]

so basically

'if you can't swim, you don't get dates.'

[lolpervs]

Yeah, well I shag like a minx.

[capnhands]

Gosh - I remember this verbatim!!!!  I reckon this goes to prove that kids under the age of 5 or so really are "sponges" - absorbing everything..

[MrFishmonger1]

[Matty112uk]

"I wish I didn't keep losing me birds" lol, typical 70's, wouldn't get away with that now!

[councilglasses]

Daves got a massive penis

[Artdecovampire]

Was that Reg Varney doing the Dave voice? Strangely enough I swim like a bloody dolphin on speed but I keep loosin' me birds despite that.

[rjconnolly64]

Why didn't she just wish Dave could swim?

[stylophobia]

Why not ask about wearing flares, at your local boutique ?
