the recovery

Oh, indeed he did ...

You think he'd know better at his age though.

 

[byegad]

Don't think he meant you.

I think he did though, having read back.

If the cap fits....Guilty conscience... etc.

But no I meant Scoosh!

 

[Scoosh]

I'm afraid his age has reached that stage ... you know ... the thing about the castle, the servants ...
We play along 'cos it keeps us all happily entertained and it is pleasantly amusing - but .....

I mean, really ...

.... your ever so slightly elders ...

total conjecture !

Followed with ...

Oh Dear, it seems that the peasants are revolting! No surprise there,living in mud huts and washing no more than once a year, and that when they accidentally fall in the beck!

 

[Scoosh]

fall in the beck

'Fall in the beck' - of what ? The bath-chair ?

Sorry, forgot you were foreign. A beck is a small, natural watercourse, known in uncivilised parts as a stream.

Not a brook?

Now I realise you're from the North Riding, and I'm from the West Riding, the largest of the three. County loyalty can only go so far.

*Except Lancashire which will rightly be demolished.

Ere, born & bred in't West Riding(The largest of the Three).

And feature in the Thieves Litany(not the beggars litany as some call it).

Not too far from the brothel Charlotte, Emily & Anne worked at.

And you don't know what a Beck is......

 

[classic33]

And you don't know what a Beck is......
