First of all......Thank you Mick.
I tried a couple of times last night to break up that large lump of text into readable bite sized bits.......I re-did the whole lot, I cut and pasted it from WORD(and despite my misgivings....the female logic thing, it wasn't that bad)...but the gremlins must have been playing out, and the whole episode just landed as you found it. After trying a couple of times and failing miserably, I gave up
.
Not my style at all....I normally fight to the bitter end.
I knew that it would put people off, which was why I put a comment on, to that effect.
I have come on here this morning to try and sort it out again....and Hey Presto! Mick has fixed it for me. Again, many thanks.
Spion Kop - this was one of the battles of the Boer War, fought in South Africa.....I always thought it was a mountain, but it is a very big hill.
The British fought the Boers at Spioenkop(to give it its Boer name) and lost......I think that one of the stands at Liverpool football ground was named The Kop, to honor the war dead. I am sure if I have got it wrong, someone will enlighten me to the truth.
That's the history lesson for today over with. I am a mine of useless information
.
Cath, no-one on our table had the Lamb, but some people on the next table to us had the Lamb and it looked lip smackingly good......and yes, they did get veggies with it......Spinach, baby carrots and asparagus.
whenever I have been out to restaurants and ordered sausage and mash with onion gravy, that is all that is served. It is just how it is. So I didn't expect any veggies.
I suspect that Ethel didn't actually want any veggies or she could have taken up the offer of a share of the plentiful veggies that had been served to both Pauline and Frank.
She just wanted to make a point......and she did, for the whole of that meal, and subsequent ones after......she tried at every opportunity to refer to the sausage incident.
It was hilarious.....more so because she looked like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.
I do wish now, that I had taken a picture of her so that you could see exactly what I mean.
