Well what can i say,!
Many many thanks to all who have said welcome.

I like to try and learn something new every day and if it makes me smile then thats all the better,

Ive just finished reading a book by Terry wogan (He who was fighting the flab and lost)
The books called "Where was I?"

One chapter i thought you may like to share with me,

The time is during the second world war & Germany was bombing hell out of London,

It was the norm when the air raid wardens started knocking on doors and the sound of the whistles etc that everyone got out of the house's and into the shelters in double quick time Nothing was more important than the shelters (or was it?)

Well "Betty and her husband Albert we're enjoying friday nights fish & chip supper when the dreaded german planes started the nightly bombing,

"Albert said to Betty" Quick woman down the street "NOW" to the shelter that sounds to close for comfort for me,

Albert started running down the street with "so he thought Betty" a few steps behind,
When he glanced over his shoulder all he could see of "Bettye was her running back to the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where the hell are you going woman "Albert" shouted it's this way!!!!!!

Betty returned her reply,

Im going back to the house "Ive left me teeth on the draing bourd.

Albert shouted back to Betty, "theyre dropping bombs not bloody sandwiches.

"Ahh" Yes im sure you'll agree true humour is the best and how many people today can re-late to stories such as the above?

Londoners have a unique sense of humour but I expected her to go back for the chish and fips. Welcome Poppy1
