General Chat

So he has carried out his civic duty and we have a pile of clean tablecloths. They need to be back at the church hall but, of course,he doesn't have a key and I don't want him crossing the main road unnecessarily, so I have suggested that Fred and his mate take them up the road to one of the churchwardens tomorrow.

He said he wouldn't do it, I said he would and he had a sulk.

It turns out that he still thinks I can't organize a beer up in a brewery and he can't carry the tablecloths all that way on his wheelchair. His mate will be with him, on his pushbike,and he has been known to cycle home with a weeks shopping.

Would you really want one as silly as me to be writing a book for the benefit of others?

Buying him an extra sausage sandwich :-D Then deducting it from his pocket money :-D :-D Thats exploitation :-D then nick half his fish and chips too boot. ;-)

A poor,disabled old man is being cruelly exploited and you think it would bring a ray of sunshine.

Shame on you!

Come on Sharron.
Then Jude & I could claim royalties for being so supportive.
Seriously I think it would be a ray of sunshine to thousands of other carere. :-D :-D

They were parts of different courses.

Sounds lovely except the tinned peas and pink blancmange - yuk

He is downstairs beavering away at his official duties in a very important manner.

No doubt he will be expecting to have a chain of office for official occasions.

Wisechild......thats a blinky good idea....your book could bring laughter as well as a great deal of help to readers. The way you have helped your dad is amazing:)) and you have a brilliant way of telling us all about his/yours daily antics...LOL

jude ;-)

I don't suppose I would be allowed to now he is a civil dignitry, village tablecloth monitor.

He is probably covered by the official secrets act or something.

I like tinned peas & the skin on custard & milk puddings. I like tinned carrots too.
No accounting for taste.
Sharron, have you thought of writing a book about Fred´s adventures in your spare time?
Ducks to avoid missiles. :-0

Love the skin:)))...like l love dripping on bread:)))

I only like tinned marrowfat peas.

I've also never discriminated for or against 'skin' on blancmange etc - just part of the deal :-D

Love the skin - always tried to get it at school dinners unless someone else got to it first

Skin on custard / blancmange disgusting.!
At head of the table in comp I always asked if some wanted it..some did, but when there were no takers I always took it off before passing it to to the rest of my fellow diners.

So do I.

I like tinned peas.

If I was your mother I would not have even let you know that blancmange,custard and milk puddings had a skin. That would have been all mine.

You don't realize how good bread and butter tastes until you grow up and eat it from choice.

The crusts probably don't give you white hair and curly teeth either.

Sharron not forgetting the skin on custard-yummy

Sharron she said that and told us it was good for us..... :-D....geeeez what adults would say to make us chew LOL ;-)

Best bit.
