Ok Cari

Just like the tokes of the seventies, may I say. Of course I have no actual experience of the smoking such stuff.

My dear!!! How very ghastly!

Well, that's a posh word, no? Or maybe should have written dahling?

Just working my way through honey and mustard chicken and a mountain of sprouts.hope they're no organic!

The "darling" was meant to portray the preciousness of passing the port. (Or even of owning port)

I remember someone once telling me port and lemon was 'a tart's drink'

I used to enjoy a port and lemon
It had to be bitter lemon

Yes, it was "common". Where did I get the idea that it was "posh"?

bitter lemons are quite tart - do you think that's what they meant?

Thought that was gin trisher.
Wot, be like the trumpet voluntary round yours tonight. What made me think of Blazing Saddles?

I wouldn't say no to it

Ok I won't use the S word, but organic mushrooms are still grown in the rotting faeces of Equus ferus caballus (that's horse S... )
Just about to fry some now.

Don't mention gin .....

A standard measure of port, and make up to 250 ml with Bitter lemon, and a slice. Not lemonade

"port and lemon was 'a tart's drink'" That's what Mrs P drank when I first met her. But there's a thought, she was only 16

under-age drinking

We all did it! Unless we were swots.

Crumbs! We had been working for a year by then! ( lots of us)

What's happened to nanbigboobs????

Looks as though she has gone the way of jingl...

I hope not

Not able to receive PMs. Gone. Banished!

What did she say?

working?
I was at school

Both myself and Mrs P left school at 15 and were working. I was 17 and she was 16 when we met. OMG, a lifetime ago.
