The Fellow thing is interesting isn't it - it is a bit (bit) like (or should I say 'akin to') the use of 'Mr' for consultant surgeons as opposed to Doctor. After all these years of using 'Mr' is would seem most disrespectful to use Doctor. I am fond of 'young fellow m'lad' and will use that tomorrow in my conversations. I will check with Martha and indeed Arthur<br />Best wishes<br />JennyThe Custardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632655608950737315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-54705287877203168192013-09-25T20:21:41.443+01:002013-09-25T20:21:41.443+01:00Well -moved!

What as shame that you no longer have the basket - tiskit tasket - My eldest sister is a thrower outer (though really she puts it in her vast attic) but we all have hoarding tendencies.....sadly. My parents died a few year ago and we were under pressure to clear the house - several skips were hired and I counted 10 bin liners just full of jugs (they went to the charity shop). There was so much stuff that we lost heart in trying to sort and sift so most was thrown away sadly. Good news was that I have gathered lots of childhood stuff when my mum had to leave the home we had grown up in.<br /><br />Mary is doing just fine today<br />Thank you for calling in<br />Best wishes<br />JennyThe Custardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632655608950737315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-46763792001983397632013-09-25T18:56:53.216+01:002013-09-25T18:56:53.216+01:00Hurray! thank you for calling in
