You have heard the family story about a famous ancestor who was guest of honour at a public ceremony when the platform collapsed under him. Today you find the official newspaper report - he was hanged! Robert, Ayrshire |

Just read the various comments and howled at many of them! :-) I'm amazed at so many witty sayings and am well impressed! I have a 476 name tree on the site and, although not at this for long at all (being, therefore, strictly amateur), the most apt saying for me was the assertion that most family trees produce some lemons, a few nuts and the odd rotten apple. After a recent link up with a part of my family I never knew existed for the first 49 years of my life, I have to report that trees are apt to produce a few absolute peaches, too! Good luck, everyone. Take good care of the peaches! ;-) |
