    ... does Alpie still say 'childer' or does he prefer the more modern but of course 'wrong' double-plural 'children'?

            There really ought to be a vacuum cleaner dealership called Everything Here Sucks, but I've yet to encounter one (it could even have a concession for one particular manufacturer with its own name Dyson with Death)...

              "...the isle is full of noises,
              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
              Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
              Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  I'm surprised that PC World has not had a name-change, given the ubiquitous pejorative use of PC.

                    The problem with that is that the very term "PC" would have first to cease being used as a descriptor for computers.

                        Think I've said this before but in York we have a plumber called "All cisterns go", there's also a tree surgeon called "The tree fella"
                        Best regards,
                        Jonathan

                          There's a local florist called Fleurtation.

                          [Bought one of their carnations to wear as a buttonhole. It didn't work...]
                          I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                              There are quite a few puns seen on gardeners' vans but that has to be one of the best!
