Offered Breakfast

[spathiphyllum]

I've never been offered breakfast on a job in my entire life.

Tea, coffee, yeah that's quite normal, and on reflection i once got offered a ham sandwich (i guess this is similar) but this morning i was offered a coffee (happily accepted) and a bacon butty!!!!!

I double took the nice (relatively old) lady after saying yes to the coffee with a "urmm, that would be delightful but you don't have to go through the trouble"

Nonsense she said (SCORE!!!) and she came back 5 minutes later with a Chris P Bacon sandwich, so i sat down with her for a couple of moments to sip the morning Joe and to destroy Chris P.. Now, back to trimming her bushes for the last time before winter.. Don't forget winter is coming ya'll get your plants ready

Would you accept such an offer or would you feel rude? Usually i would feel rude but in the moment it felt perfectly acceptable. I come here once a week so i've got to know the nice lady

[spathiphyllum]

"spath - you call her 'relatively old', how old is that in your opinion. Just interested ...."

The desirable lady is just shy of 75

Lol thought you were going to say about 60 !

[spathiphyllum]

I would consider 60 as 'pushing old' ;)

Jack, that's not a vision I needed planting in my brain.

[spathiphyllum]

Jack has described my perfect fantasy, if only Joyce knew of drugs of that calibre

Although it'd be confusing, it may also be an adventure!

Interesting fact for you retro, 'Doolally Tap' comes from the fact that people went out of their minds with boredom in the Indian Transit camp at Deolali during the days of the Raj whilst they were waiting to be repatriated because they could be there confined to camp with nothing to do for months at a time, so it means to go barmy :)

[spathiphyllum]

Similar to the phrase Lunatics.. Those who went crazy when the moon was full, Aint you one of them Kval? ;)

[AuntLydia]

Ah but kval retrocop said Doolally Tup its Wales remember.....sheep...I'll get my coat.

[kvalidir]

Lol AL, nothing like a good sheep reference :)

Yeah Spath, we be howlin' x

[spathiphyllum]

Did you know the welsh invented the condom by using a sheep intestine in 1846?

The English refined it later by taking it out of the sheep first

[retrocop]

Spath,
You are quite correct. It some how has worked it's way into the Welsh dialect. May be as a result of a Welsh Rgmt garrisoned there.
The phrase "he's gone tup" was often used in the valleys.
If,"The man who climbed a hill and came down a Mountain" is ever shown with Hugh Grant as a cartographer in it you will hear it there. Indeed to goodness

[spathiphyllum]

They like to ram? ewe..

[spathiphyllum]

Sorry i've took this OTT :')

[mccfluff]

you took it too far with "daddies sauce"....

[sanmac]

Spath, the Irish invented the toilet-seat; however, the English perfected it by cutting a hole in it...Not a lot of people know that.

[spathiphyllum]

Oh Mcfluff if i could only have two BA's :D

[spathiphyllum]

"15:20"

HAHA what?! hahahhahahahahahahha

[hereIam]

Now I'm in my 60's, I don't consider 'old' until the 80's - it's all relative !
