Loving your work Dave, that was quality. It's been a long wait for a laugh on here, but that was just about worth it.

"Harrumph."
A few days later I had a knitted Snoopy, made by my Mum.
"Consider yourself lucky. When I was a girl I asked my step mother for a dolly. I was given a wooden spoon and a rag of cloth to tie round it for a frock. That was my dolly until my step mother saw I had drawn a face on it. That got my arse rattled." Such was life in a Yorkshire mill town in the 1930s.
I cannot remember what happened to my knitted Snoopy. I think my big bruvvas took the piss, and so I rejected it.
I hated my childhood. Utterly.Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

A couple of weeks ago I was asked by a Scotsman where North of the Border I hailed from.
He was shocked when I said I only visit occasionally, he said that he could have sworn that he detected a lilt of an accent, as if I'd been away for many years but it was still there.
I couldn't hear it myself...
And while in a skiing class this year a French woman asked me if I went to a 'centre of excellence' for my accent, a Berlitz examiner had to explain the concept of RP to the group (in French - I didn't know where to start..)
I do get a fair share of comments about my accent considering I don't think I've got one...Last edited by cojak; 15 May 2009, 07:47."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."
