  • It's Christmas....What in July....Of Course
    Aug 4 2026

    Yes, it certainly is well only in Old Git World. We visited the home of Mr Christmas UK, and the big man was there, ready and waiting for us.

    It was our visit to the home of Andy Parke, who is officially Mr Christmas, and what a wonderful surprise and great day out it was for us. As we arrived, the Queen's speech was on TV; Mr Christmas runs this EVERY single day of the year and alternates between the King and, of course, the Queen. The whole house is fully decorated and looks so nice with his upside-down Christmas tree.

    You have to listen in to find out more and, of course, see the images on our socials.

    With the sunshine we are having in the UK at the moment, it was nice to visit Mr Christmas and think about what is likely to be coming up in a few months' time.

    Enjoy, and of course Ho! Ho! Ho!

  • Yet another way for us to make money with a continuation of our Crisp Bus
    Jul 20 2026

    Yes, as the title suggests, we are still working on hitting the road with our very own unique 'fast food' offering. This is actually the audio version we put out on our YouTube channel (what do you mean you didn't know we had a YouTube channel)? Just go to YouTube on any device; mind you, we look surprisingly wonderful on widescreen TV. Mind you, I think that's thanks to Hair, makeup and wardrobe- of course I mean the lack of either of those departments.

    Anyway, let us know what you think by getting in touch on any of the socials or email or via Doris Stokes (look it up). oldgistandhits@gmail.com

    Enjoy, but not too much, just in case matron is watching.

  • Another few minutes of rambling on. Old Gits style.
    Jul 14 2026

    For those of you who haven't caught up with our YouTube channel, this is one of our latest videos. (Incidentally, it's easy to watch on mobile, tablet, computer, or even your TV. Just go to YouTube and type in Old Gits and Hits).

    Anyway, for those that just can't be bothered, like the true Old Gits we are. We decided to deliver it as a podcast as well, so here it is. Now as you know, we do ramble on a bit at times; for instance, this time it's continuing our show and tell, with the addition of a genuine NEW Old Gits mug. We also talk about finding buried treasure whilst at home, you know in these cupboards or drawers that no one ever wants to look in. John also tries to convince us (well, he had already convinced himself) that he has a good and muscular physique. You need to listen to hear David & Chir's response.

    That's about it for now from 3 Old Gits to you. Have a darn good day, or spend all day darning; now that's something we should talk about.

  • The Old Gits Crisp Bus
    Jun 3 2026

    Yet another money-making opportunity that we have, and believe it or not, this one definitely has legs, well, actually wheels.

    This story came about when a leading lady 'luvvie' announced that her mother fed her rubbish food by giving her crisp sandwiches. Now, being Old Gits, we took umbrage with that as we are totally convinced the crisp sandwich is a British food institution that needed defending.

    Furthermore, we saw it as a great opportunity for us to start our own outside catering company, providing crisp sandwiches on demand. Not only that, but David actually found a couple of food trucks, including an ex-ice cream truck that would be ideal for our project. We are looking for your help with coming up with the 'theme' tune that will be played when the Crisp truck arrives along your street. The Crunch by the RAH Band was one suggestion we would like more.

    Finally, we also thought the à la carte menu and self-construction sandwich (after you have your own FREE lesson) on how to build the correct sandwich, which will be trademarked, of course.

    Book the Old Gits crisp catering for your next big event.

    Grab a crisp sandwich, listen in and enjoy.

  • Mental Health Awareness Week 11-17th May 2026
    May 12 2026

    As a team, we always endeavour to put the fun into each of our shows. Occasionally, there is a subject that needs serious consideration, and a segment of this week's show did exactly that, under the guidance of Chris Criddle, who speaks candidly about the issues he encountered himself.

    As a reminder, we can all be one small step away from suffering from mental health issues, not just for a week, but for some, it can be a considerable and even a desperate time. We will let Chris explain, and of course, hopefully it leaves you totally aware that there is ALWAYS someone there to help or talk to.
