Cloughie - very inventive... and even partially correct!

It wasn't on AA, it was on childrens' stories revisited. I picked Peter Duck up in a charity shop and re-acquainted myself. I liked Swallows & Amazons, although the girls were generally a bit wet.Originally posted by Caliban View PostMissed that! Were you in invisible mode at the time?!Comment
