It is much better to sit in the car for 5 minutes in the car park next to the school and annoy all the other parents with AC/DC - You shook me all night long with a head banging 3 year old in the back singing along loudly to it with the window open.

It is such immense fun to see how puckered the crispy mothers faces get :laugh:

Similar. Don't tell anyone, but cockney is actually a bit of an invention to serve the tourists :whistle:
Sort of. A true cockney is someone born within the sound of Bow Bells (roughly a couple of miles radius from St. Mary Le Bow church on Cheapside in the City of London) This area mostly isn't residential any more and is where a lot of the banks are now based.:laugh:

Great Grandpa Rickshaw was a genuine cockney.:thumbsup:

The last book I read took place in that area. The main character lived in Exeter and had to journey to Bristol on foot; off road which I think took 5 days.

And the book I'm reading now takes place on a fictitious Island in the Celtic sea. The writer is obviously British.
We seem to have produced a lot of fantasy writers over the years.^_^

One of our suppliers is based in Gloucester, Anne is a lovely lady with a cracking accent
Remembering one of the ladies I used to get on the phone when putting orders in for my bike shop....a voice that would have made any red blooded man weak at the knees..................Then I met her at a trade show..........Let's just say imagination and reality diverged somewhat Her nickname (of which she was proud?) was Skeletor....A lovely personality none the less.

Do I need to get the spray plaster out?
Right now I am semi-caught up on tea?

We did shopping today and I also seem to have purchased an ancient massive trunk for a tenner, that I managed to get down from £40 in the antique emporium that has strange stuff (like stuffed otters) in that is near the 99p shop that has the princess tissues & drinks in.

I have done the massive food shop round robin, only Makro left to go which can wait...

I have managed to purchase the small peoples presents for 2 of the 3 grandparents.

I got a few cycling bits that were reduced in Aldi.

Two toes on my right foot hurt as per, cos I have had shoes on all day (they did get impaled in a large nail when I was small)

My shoulders and back are killing me I am never doing a big shop when Mr P is away I don't get to collapse for ten minutes while he unloads the groaning car and makes me a cuppa :sad: and then I get to send him to the other freezer with the overflow from the freezer that lives int he cupboard of doom
