    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.

      You want to find yourself a decent woman, mate.

      Damn good job you've not married her, I say.

          When I was seven I plucked up the courage to ask my Mum why I didn't have (and had never had) a Teddy

          "Boys don't need one."

          "All my friends have one."

          "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.

                Is that a fact?

                  That is definitely not northern oik, but southern-shandy-drinking-poof.

                  Carry on.
                  Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                    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...
