Ask The Person Below You A Question: that tricky third thread...

No.

Would you call yourself a foodie?

No, fine dining is wasted on me.

Have you ever been to a wine tasting?

I did once on holiday but found it a bit of a bore. Cant be bothered with food and wine snobbery.

No because I don't 'get' wine. I can only drink it with lemonade!

When someone says "Now what are you going to drink?" what do you ask for?

Merlot or grapefruit juice or tomato juice. If it’s cold I like tea, or occasionally a cappuccino.

Do you drink fruit teas or Earl Grey or any Tea with a fancy name?

All sorts of fruit teas and also Turmeric latte.

If you could only have one small treat to eat, a month, what would it be?

Mine is a custard tart

A bar of milk chocolate. I only eat plain chocolate, and very little of that, due to trying to reduce my sugar intake.

Do you prefer spray deodorants to roll-on ones? Any favourites?

Sweet - an M&S custard choux bun
Savoury - a big bag of salt and vinegar chip sticks, with a large piece of Camembert on the side!

What food do you really dislike, to the extent that you simply cannot eat it?
Mine in eggs. I haven’t even tried to eat a fried egg.

Eggs, and anything slimy like liver, kidneys or shellfish. I will eat any fruit, veg and meat. Im also quite happy with vegetarian. So there is always something on the menu I can find.

Do you have a favorite classic perfume that you stick with?

Mine is Obsession.

I like L'aimant.

Is there a film which you like so much you have seen it numerous times?

Yes Groundhog Day
It makes me laugh every time it comes on and I even have a DVD.

It’s getting darker earlier and the lights go on around 21:30. What time do you need to put the lights on the evening where you live.

About 9 pm. However I put task lighting on much earlier.

Do you ever watch TV "chat" shows?

I find them boring. I much prefer news programs or documentaries.

No, I find talking heads a bore.
To answer henetha’s earlier question re deodorants, I don’t mind spray or roll on. My son gives me any he gets as Xmas presents! I’m not fussy..,

Do you wear a roll on type girdle or Spanx? (I wear a lightweight roll on to support my bad back as well as streamlining the tummy) My mother said she had to have one as it kept her together.

Sometimes if I want to look slimmer! Usually if we are going out with friends.

Do you zoom or do online chats?

Yes. Zoom for things like choir and work and WhatsApp or FB Messenger for family and friends. How on earth did we manage before?

What’s your favourite bedtime drink?

Small glass of cold milk, just to take my tablets

What do you think about in the wee small hours?

All sorts. Usually, try to go back to sleep.

Do you like quinces?

Adore quinces, especially stewed with custard and a little whipped cream

What is your favourite rose?

I unfortunately don’t really know much about roses - I like less common flowers like Frangipanis, Heliconias and Bougainvilleas.

What male & female names do you not like?

Garth and Morag - both make me feel like fingers down a chalkboard!

Bill and Bertha

No, would have no idea how to go about it.

If a room in your home needed painting, would you do it yourself, or hire a painter?

I’ve always done all the painting, still do. A professional wouldn’t give it the detail I do.

Do you prefer gloss, Matt, satin, eggshell?

In the days when I did home decorating - eggshell.

Have you ever wallpapered a room yourself?

Sadly I no longer have the balance to stand on ladders.

Good lord no, I’d get in a right muddle. I’m far too clumsy, and I can’t do ladders either

Is there a particular politician that you like / admire?
My MP is Margaret Beckett, and I’m full of admiration for her

No, I can't think of a single politician who is worthy of admiration.

If you were to go on Mastermind what would be your specialist subject?

Art and artists?

Can you drive anything big, bus, lorry etc.?
