    My first home was a garage door cost me 12 weeks wages .

    I think kids today expect too much

    My loo was a train ride away at Euston station but we never complained, me and my Teddy

    We didn’t know much about Anthrax then but new if you had it with uncooked meat the skin infections that followed didn’t make you popular when standing outside the school disco

    I wonder if kids today know how hard we had it back then , 'savings' were rain drops you kept for your open air bath ?

    Hey, Stewart, I enjoy your posts - and so does DS, truth be told.

    Just don't mind if from time to time I point out some of the funnier boo-boos - to point them out when they aren't funny is just rude!!

    I am trying to work out how we can engineer a thread in which only you and Fletch post to each other while the rest of us spend all day grinning.

    If truth be told, there are spelling and grammar mistakes on half of the posts on this forum.

    You stayed in a fridge? You were't lucky to have t'fridge !

    I was a door mat with the word "Welcome" tatooed on my back. I had to lie outside the front door 25 hours a day 8 days a week come rain, sun or snow and let people clean their boots on the back of my head.

    Fridge? Pah luxury !

    bah Stewart38s genius is down to the careful use of spelling and grammar mistakes in a cryptic quagmire of pseudo logic, puns and "out-of-the" box thinking.

    Its really NOT just about spelling and grammar
