For me it's when your granddaughter orders a taxi for us and makes sure we are getting in the right one!

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. :thumbup: :wave:

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. 😇
Don't worry, be happy

I do wonder what some of us men would be like not having our wives keeping us on the straight and narrow…as you can imagine its been an uphill battle for my poor wife ;) :)
