Went into this posh restaurant, must have been posh, they had table cloths. Ordered the all day breakfast with fried bread instead of toast. "Sorry Sir we don't do fried bread " "OK just serve it with a freeking big croûton then ..........................." |

We were watching the local electricians during the maintenance at the top of the wooden poles and my neighbour quipped 'Don't they do well with those croutons?' No? I was following the comments about our various 'hachis' which became 'haggis' in Scots. Then came a bit in QI about the variations in translation about the Burns Supper and the Chinese New Year held together and the German translation about 'the Mighty Fuhrer of the Sausage People' No? Well, I'd didn't do the deep fried Curlie Whirlies beloved wherever the border is at the moment. I hear that the SNP are going to tow Scotland away from England :lol: |

There was even talk of a bridge to the mainland at the same time, maybe the two were linked! cheers Bill |

I was thinking about thatched roofs and it should be mentioned that the alternative was a turfed roof especially in Scotland. This is why Scotland has so many corrugated iron roofs on country farms and cottages as replacements. |
