hockleyheat - another instance of our silly English language because down south 'tyke' means a naughty person. No wonder you get confused. As you n
May have guessed Retro and I are southerners and Danny is a northerner. One of these days we must arrange to meet up bet there would be a few surprises in store.

Great idea Margo! I'm going to win the Florida Lottery this weekend ($4m) and will send 1st class tickets! ;-)

[MargoTester]

Well I've been doing our lottery since it started in 1994 and have only won the odd £10 here and there BUT should you win I'll hold you to that!! As we say over here 'pigs might fly and we'd have to shoot for pork'!

[HockleyHeat]

Never heard 'shoot for pork' before! You folks are great educationalists!

Some might argue with that. It's been lovely chatting to you, speak again soon. Perhaps put something on Chatterbank. X
