My dear, I dont 'attack' you per se, I merely point out some of the idiosyncrasies in some of your posts. On occasions, you say one thing in one post then change it in another post, it can be confusing, so I may ask clarification, that's when you start accusing me of 'attacking' you. I have...

Maybe it was fantasy or maybe a dream. Transcribed the 8 as a 3? Possible, they are close on a keyboard. Col

Ahhh, thanks. Col

Kerrygold is Irish butter, very expensive here. I'll confess I don't have butter, I have a buttermilk spread from sainsbury's. The word 'butter' refers to any butter like spread on bread. Fish and chips, yes, are deep fried in oil and are coated in batter, yes if eaten regularly can kill you...

(note to self) must try harder. BTW never heard of ocra. Isaac - you went wrong with the mayonnaise, don't bother with that French rubbish, tomato sauce and loads of it, and a slice of buttered bread for a chip buttie. (Chip sandwich for the uninitiated) Col

Wouldn't know. Whatever you call it, it's still the republicans turn to screw things up and keep you moaning for another four years.:giggle: Col

We use the same criteria for babies. Col

Not at all. In the UK, your home is inspected to make sure it's suitable to house a rescue cat (or dog). Col

Don't they come and inspect you to make sure your home is suitable for rehoming a stray cat? Col

Oh you poor dear, it must have been awful for you having to carry your own shopping. I bet you were relieved when you hired your slave to carry stuff. Was that their only job? or had they another job on the side like your other home employees. Col

Plus of course 'Grand Theft Auto' for a more modern take on American day to day life. Col

You're welcome. Always happy to help foreigners who struggle with correct English. Col

I think you mean 'Never a week went by. . . ' :rolleyes: In the UK, no returns or refund without the receipt.

In the UK, we have several dates. We have 'sell by' for fresh products like meat etc. We have 'use by' and 'best before'. The yellow sticker indicates an item is 'reduced to clear' indicating it has reached its sell by date. Col
