      I'd have to look at the reports which are in the office... Can't remember numbers!

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

        You need a method.
        Just relate back to a musical memory , and it'll be easy as winking .

        Its called something complicated that I can't remember.

          Oh bless, this is why I can never stay cross with him. He's typically male disfunctional!

            In my late teens I spent a few weeks working on a local mixed dairy and poultry farm. The butter made there was quite the most flavoursome I have ever tasted. The secret, apart from the breed of cows and their fine meadow diet, was that the farmer kept back half of the butter from each week's production and used it as a starter for the following week's churning. Some of the butter in the mix must have been literally years old. I doubt such methods would even be legal these days.

              Actually - to be more precise, I can't remember stats. Numbers is ok - Köchel numbers, phone numbers &c. where there's a pattern etc. But plain boring stats: nope!

                stats are made up anyway, so remembering them is pointless !

                  The old chestnut deserves a mention...............

                  Betty bought some butter, but the butter Betty bought was bitter, so Betty bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter Betty bought before.

                      Howard Goodall has a lot to answer for!!

                      All this from my ignorance about bronze age musical instruments, and a logo I've been familiar with all my life but never looked at till yesterday...

                        There are some distinct advantages to early retirement... and I have three other mouths to feed.

                              Too true, Kezzer.
                              the better shops are over on Planet Claire.


                              Butterbeans are the local delicacy.


                              Yum.

I have trained myself to eat Flora, the best of the 'spreads' in my opinion. I can then occasionally treat myself to some really fatty cheese, the sort with various things added.
                                You can buy excellent quality butter in the local Intermarché here which has been manufactured to spread straight from the fridge. I have it every morning with my "Festive" baguette, made from "Label Rouge" flour...it is wonderful!
