The last time I ate cherries I found myself counting the stones:
tinker, tailor, soldier, spy! I think I read too many paperbacks!

It was...
'Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief' in my day! No transport to my wedding predicted!
No I don't still do it because I don't eat stoned fruit any more. grin

I had some lovely cherries and as I ate them automatically put the stones in sets of four, We used to say those old rhymes of , what you would grow up to be and how you would go to your wedding so

Lady, baby , gipsy, queen. and Coach , carriage, wheelbarrow , muck cart! etc

Do any of you still do that?
