I did have trouble finding a marriage of my Uncle to get his wife's maiden name, got it eventually but what I should have done is ask my know it all sister :-( she claims to know lots but actually doesn't.

We all have one !

Mine tells stories of our younger days that are totally off the wall

Sometimes I just can’t hold my tongue and have to say no that’s not what happened

And I am the older one too

I'm the older one too and she doesn't do family history.

So there are some advantages to being an only child!

Yes there definitely are, I'm one of four, my brother and I are 14 and 12 years older than her but of course she knows much more than we do. NOT.

I turned veggie in 1975 so I have just done it without thinking for years.

About fifteen years ago, we were summoned to some sort of eating workshop at the surgery.. and he was there with his wife. The expert and his promoter. He had been a vegetarian for ten whole years and she wanted you to know that as well.

He closed his eyes like an owl when he was mentioning, and boy, did he mention, anything about vegetarianism, so that he looked kind of wise.

When he stopped eating meat, I had already been veggie or twenty years but what would I know about anything? It was ten years before Quorn was invented.

He pontificated something about soya and I mentioned to him, in the tea break, that I never did like it very much. He looked down at me from his lofty position of knowledge and experience, closed his eyes wisely and said "You get used to it".

Well I never had in my thirty years of vegetarianism!

Sharron, a bit like my sister, an expert on family history but never having done any and when I thought we had some well to do ancestors but it turned out to be the wrong family same surname though, she was telling all and sundry about them, I haven't told her the truth yet and probably won't. :-D

Sharron - you know you should do vegetarianism the 'proper' way!!! :-D :-D :-D

My gut can' cope with Soya, and I can't stand the texture of tofu, no matter how it's disguised, but weirdly, I CAN eat vegeables (apart from rice)! With a 'side' of meat :-D :-D :-D
