Good morning you lovely lot,

How about "a sandwich short of a picnic!".

Another one is an ambulance driver who said " I like to do 15 minutes of work and have a two hour tea break".

I am still trying to work that out. :-S

Be good!

Take gentle care
Love Elizabeth, EOS

Up the stairs to Bedfordshire - I thought it was because Dad came from Biuckinghamshire, close to Beds.

If dad was driving and he made a mistake by taking a wrong turn, he would say,"Iv'e dropped a clanger".
I thought it meant something had fallen off the car!

What did your last servant die of?
If you don't stop crying I'll give you something to cry for.
Because I say so.
