More than likely Screwy, but if you should bump into another snowflake you could make a slight detour off the A49 and come for a glass of Jubel at my place…I live but three miles off the A 49.screwy wrote: 01 Jul 2020, 10:43So your the one I get stuck behind on the A49,when travelling down to Ledbury.cruisin_duo wrote: 01 Jul 2020, 10:21Thank you Onelife that did make us laugh.Onelife wrote: 30 Jun 2020, 21:08

Re: Do you know your manners
When I mention that burping and slurping is good manners in some countries while we are driving down to Southampton, my good lady replies "you better NOT show me up at dinner". It's not a request, it's a command.
We always use tradition when 'passing the Port' At Christmas. It does draw the attention when it has come to a stop, and do you know the bishop comes into play. Very relaxing and fun.
In case you are on my table, I am very well behaved.
