Certainly not fibbing, SueM. Economical with the truth, perhaps. Anything to big Oz up. ;-)

And I am also doubting that men work in any service indusry in NSW :-S

You must be worried. Sue's thread is less than 60,000 behind your Oz thread now :-)

Are you saying I'm telling fibs John:-0

Oh, Sue ! Can't go home yet!!

Recording my 1969 'Blodwyn Pig' LP to PC ... gotta wait til that's finished at least :-(

Besides, cats have locked the bl**dy back door, so gonna have to squeeze through the cat flap - can hear them chuckling now :-(

Enough room in onsie to be a twosie now, John, sigh.....

Don't believe that for one moment, SueMaid.

Surely they do not yet have supermarkets in Australia :-S :-S

On a more serious note, I have noted waiters in restaurants (Nandos last week for example) calling everyone guys. Young women, mature ladies, young men, old fogeys. I prefer the local boyos or the cockers of my childhood :-D ;-) Guys are what went in a pram first week in November to beg for our fireworks money.

We were in our local supermarket and the young man at the checkout said "how are you today, guys". I said I'm not a guy and I would prefer to be called 'madam'. I also said that I would like a girl to serve me and one who speaks with an Aussie accent ;-)

Well done on reaching 1000+, Sue :-D :-D

Diolch yn fawr iawn Tec :-D

Hmmmmm I wonder what news report I can find next, that is current and reported as soon as possible after it happened John!

MrDaff go home now and get into clean civvy clobber. ;-)

I was shopping in a supermarket in Aberdare this morning. Got to the checkouts and chatted to the young man about the snow, about how expensive Welsh lamb and tinned tuna has become. He then asked me if I needed any 5p bags or a bag for life for 12p. Then he asked if I needed any savings stamps or if I wanted cash back.

He then said how much I owed "deugain punt, hanner can ceiniog". I asked him to repeat the amount in English, my chosen language. He simply repeated "deugain punt.......... :-\ :-\ :-\ ;-)

MrD. Are you in a soggy hole in your onesie? Too flippin cold tonight for the elderly to be out. Keep warm :-D ;-)

Awwww, I missed the 1K post :-(
Well, just gonna have to make do with the fame, fortune, fantastic physique, and an overactive imagination, I guess...

<3 Sue

:-D :-D :-D

((can I get out of this soggy hole now,pse ???? And the helmets leaving a rim on my forehead, so not '13-sih!:-S))

Sue, That letter was on Blog Menai, I am sure. But it is not to be found at all tonight. Don't even know when this incident happened. Sounds like it was well before Christmas.

Those who live in or near Pwllheli may well remember all the customers fighting in the shop, the cashiers in tears, police vans arriving, this tall man of 83 being dragged across the car park into the Black Maria struggling and screaming "Rhyddid am Feirdd" (Freedom for Poets).

One thing is for sure, over 1,000 Genes posters will be rivetted to their screen next August when the old boy wins the Chair for his piece about Spar Change (Ceiniogau Spar) :-D

Was Hayley such a good girl in Barry at 16? Very disappointed - was looking forward to some excitement there ;-)

Well done Sue - Da iawn. This has been a most entertaining thread.
Can't wait for your next thought provoking "subject" :-D

Tec, in anticipation.

Waits for the next shop that the Archdruid goes into.... :-D

No ..it's thanks to you all of you and of course the Archdruid :-D

Well done Sue...looked in most days..not always posted as dont know S Wales much and never been to Barry.loved St David's ,parts of Pembroke ..Tenby etc.

Steady on fast cats I was on holiday with my married sisters and their families I think I was taken along purely as a babysitter and I did so, its was the summer of 1984 and red hot summer , it was the first time I ever placed a bet and won £35.00 on the donkey derby I was delighted I was very well behaved in them days ....I had my sisters breathing down my neck :-|

I did get taken along to the midnight show thing and saw Joe whatshiname did a fantasic Shirley Bassey ... :-D

so nice to see you are feeling somewhat upbeat Sue - long may it continue!! <3 <3
