I'm too young to have listened to Children's Hour, or Children's Favourites (and remember it) but I'm half pleased and half horrified that I remember quite a lot of those songs (I am a mole and I live in a hole!!) I'm wondering if my parents had records with some of them on.
I think many of the same playlist turned up on Junior Choice on Radio 2, which was a regular thing right through the 1970s and possibly longer. That's where I learned all the words of Right Said Fred, anyway. Still in my hind brain if someone says something to trigger it

No Pooh in my childhood. Met him in my 30s when a friend said I had to read them but was not enchanted but I did buy them for Possum and OH and read them to her but she wasn't too bothered either. On the other hand, she loved the Disney version.

Radio 2 is a definite possibility.

I remember reading 'What is the matter with Mary Jane?' to my niece when she was about 5 years old. At the end there was a pause, and then she said "I think Mary Jane's tired!"

In primary school, I was one of about half a dozen children of over protective parents who would not allow their children to go to St Mary's Bay for a week. (I still feel deprived) Anyway, we were babysat by an elderly , kindly teacher who could do a mean lugubrious voice. Eyore a speciality. She read Winnie the Pooh to us every day. I can still hear her voice and see her controlled brillo pad hair but her face is indistinct.
After many fruitless attempts to make a telephone appointment as advised by a GP, I was ready to give up. Tried phoning. Tried ask first app. Sat by the phone for hours Just In case the appointment booking app had worked. No joy. Out of the blue, a copy of a letter sent from the consultant ,whom I won't 'see' again until next July, to my GP practice arrived. My intention is to list all the medical terminology, Google them and see if I can piece everything together and see if I have something to worry about. What else can I do? Seven years at medical school might have been useful.
B3, try popping in to your regular Pharmacy and see if the Pharmacist can help you with the terminology. I did that for people several times, when they didn't want to bother the doctor. Of course now actually getting to speak to a doctor is nigh on impossible. Mine actually sent me a text asking me to get a blood pressure reading done "somewhere", (so long as it's not their nurse or doctor) and email in the result. Presumably so they can hit a tick box somewhere. Fat chance.
