Here's a memory that will get the fairer sex going (maybe not as much as being tied up and spanked, but . .)

Housewives (cringe) all putting their washing out on Monday because that was the day you did the washing.

(Germaine Greer and her lot sure spoiled a lot of worthy customs lol)

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course ...

New York ... speaking of which, I must confess to my previous ignorance. It was only due to all the news footage from the streets of New York upon the tragedy of the Twin Towers that I realised the vast majority of people living in New York are little brown ethnic minorities with only the rare and occasional white-faced Caucasian scuttling furtively and guiltily amongst the immigrant crowds.

Not that there's anything ....

You people really did give the country away, didn't you? Have you learnt/learned to speak Spanish yet? Better hurry before you get marginalised and isolated by not knowing the language. Perhaps evening classes?

Congratulations. Sincerely.

I take it you're out of the closet by now? Do your parents know? Have your neighbours complained about the noise? It's done in the basement where the iron-rings are set into the concrete wall?

They do? Interesting. In England it's Oxbridge where the 'correct' King's English is spoken. The la-di-da accent is peculiar to the area - so I've heard. In Holland it's Haarlem where they speak proper, and in Germany it's Heidelberg.

I would never have guessed it's Boulder, Colorado in the US of A. I thought it was Boston - or thereabouts.

My condolences. Political Correctness is the Work of the Devil. The Socialists will not rest until every child in the English-speaking Western World is utterly convinced that their forebears were the Spawn of the Devil and every bit as guilty and wicked as Hitler and his extermination camps.

When I was deciding where to go as a migrant from Britain I received a message from my father in Hong Kong to go to Canada. He'd been to both Canada and Australia in years gone by.

I opted for Australia rather than risk being killed by a Grizzly bear on the streets of Toronto ...

I was living in a bed sitter in London and the old dear from across the way knocked on the door and said "what day do you have your bath because I have mine on Monday and wash the sheets in the tub if they need it. Until then I thought it was an urban myth about the pommies having a bath once a week, can't say I blame them though, it was very very cold.
