A Supper round here seems to be a middle age person with a penchant for navigating the local waterways while standing on what looks like a plastic ironing board.

Actually, there may be only one 'p' in that.

Her explanation was : Tea = working class, Dinner = middle class, Supper = properly brought up.

She was a younger version of Margo Leadbetter.

mmm Felicity Kendall & Penelope Keith ...
