But 'Z' doesn't get many outings (in this country anyway), so it's just getting whatever it can, leave it alone! 🤣

Not sure you read my message properly, I was saying 'leave it alone'.

My original response (it's been edited now) was incorrect too, but I just like saying 'zactly. 🤔

We already had things like phones and electricity and stuff in Scotland! 😆

I have not been to Bradford in years (I think I went to a media and T.V. museum where I saw some original Clangerzz... Sorry...) so I can only speak of elsewhere.

Who is Z anyway?
