Thanks Uncle Monty

Ah, success I see!

If you just want to do a straightforward "smile", it's simplest to type just a colon followed by a closed bracket. : + ) =

[salymap]

thank you Alpensinfonie

[Uncle Monty]

Just come back from Coleford Co-op

Here it is:




I momentarily considered sneaking a picture of the ladies for you, but decided that would not be quite the thing

[salymap]

Why don't you Co-op customers invite a number of Co-op ladies to your own dinner party? It might be interesting. Meanwhile I'll make do with my musicians thanks

For one heart-stopping moment I thought you had written 'invite a number of your Co-operative ladies'

But then I remembered that you are a lady yourself

Any time you fancy a shelf-stacker ogling trip down at your nearest Waitrose, salymap just tip me the wink & I'll arrange transport

And a visit afterwards to the Dog & Strumpet ... for a schooner of sherry and a wipedown with an oily rag

[salymap]

You are not, um, multi- tasking are you amateur 51? And the Dog and Strumpet doesn't sound your sort of pub.

Ileave you to your imaginings, I'm going to have a snooze after putting the bins out. Behave now. saly

Really salymap, I do not know to what it is that you are referring

I was thinking of an intimate dinner, sometime akin to this great example perhaps?:
