EDITED AT 06:41 PM POSTED AT 06:20 PM Right. I cannot remember exactly what he/she said prior to the edit, but trust me, umberella fitted perfectly. Ithink it was something like 'rain' but whatever it was IT FITTED. I could have lied and said that i have a red 'santander' golfing umbrella in the boot of my car, but taht was not what I was thinking. I do have a red 'Sanatander' golfing umberella in the boot of my car, but that is not the point. TIME OUT. and breathe.

another burial saying heralds back to the same days when bodies would be exhumed and dumped, dried and burnt to make way for new ones. To reduce the chance of it happening to your nearest and dearest wealthy (clergy in particular) would be buried within the church itself, the nearer to the altar the wealthier or more powerful you were. People were buried in the upright position too, so that more bodies could be accomodated. After a period of time the bodies would naturally start to whif a bit and could be smelt be the congregation. And that my sweet cherubs is how we came to use the term 'stinking rich'.

Loved that mrs b, mrs h jumped in with the last one (bell) before i got to it. Re digging up coffins, did you also know that the old bones would be left to fully dry and then burnt? Hence 'bone fires' or bonfires as we now call them. Another saying that we use that has truly been bastardised and really gets my goat (wtf does that mean btw) is when people sya 'donkey's years', falsely assuming that donkeys live a long life etc... The actual phrase is 'donkey's EARS', it is ****ney rhyming slang for 'years'. ie I ain;t been in that 'rub a dub' (pub) in 'donkey's ears' (years). Simple really but as i say it gets my goat as it is a corruption of a genuine slang term of which we (the brits) should be proud of and not alter through ignorance. Strangely it is actually 'donkey's ears' since I heard it said correctly. What eslse can you recall from your youth mrs b?

Too true. They have this unwarranted reputation as great passionate lovers. Ballacks! As was seen at SMS yesterday, we have more passion, feeling and emotion in our little toas than those pizza munchers have in theor whole bodies. And pizza! Now I love a pizza, a great big cheesey pizza all to myseolf, but it is in no way to be confused with real food. Food for lovers = Great British food.

/\ Cheers mr k, hope you didn't tip? It is so short sighted when they do stuff like that. For example; reading your short report means that I will not even try them now, lose, lose in my book. That must have made you feel so welcome!!! I leave tips, but ONLY do nowadays when it is warranted. I am not an ar sehole, I just don't get why it is 'expected', and far too many people expect it over here nowadays. people quote how it is in other countries, but in other countries (in the main) staff give 'service' naturally meanoing people tip naturally. btw, we went to the Jewel in The Crown last night, 12 of us. A decent meal, inconspicuous service and we ate and drank and chatted through 3 couples on the adjoining table. At no point did we feel rushed. Decent tips followed as will future custom. ..and now have told you, they may even get more custom from our visit. Too many establishments make do imho and foolishly forget that reputations canb take years to create and can be ruined in one night. We should have a SWF 'what's on' 'eating out' and 'best pubs' forum. Baj and Steve could even sell advertising praps?

Good luck with that, I gather that the official travel club will be taking in excess of 100 coaches up. They'll habe boooked everything up within Hants by now I'd have thought.
