Is there something they put in the water??? :o

Is this because of my threads? I'd point out that the Norfolk lot may be barmy but they're better than my Gloucestershire lot who went in for cutting people's throats. nell

Which lot do you take after Nell? ;-))

Never been near a cut-throat razor! I also have Warwickshire, London, Cornish, Cambridge, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey blood in my veins. Have found 'awkward customers' on all sides!

Oooh, a barmy posh girl with a West Country 'twang', they're the best sort doncha know ;-)

Nothing posh about me, apart from the fact that I don't keep coal in the bath. Which bit did you think was posh???

Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, I always think of those as being 'posh' areas.

LOL no Nell they are intreguing me and the titles making me laugh ...... :D sharon ( maybe I watch too much little Britain :o )

Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire may well be posh (though I would dispute Milton Keynes and Cowley!) but my lot were ag labs who had to leave when the ceiling in their cottage fell in. Definitely not posh. Though I was intrigued a couple of years ago when we went to the village of Aston Rowant in Oxfordshire. My gt x 3 grandfather was born there. He ended up in an almshouse in Stoke Poges, and was a humble labourer all his life. AR WAS posh, all stud farms and houses with double driveways etc. No sign of any humbler homes, so I guess the help all lived in in flats above the garages. Not even a corner shop! nell

Strange you should say that Nell, we've just been watching 'Pride & Prejudice' (Colin Firth in the lake OMG), anyway, I've seen it before but it was like watching it for the first time because I was thinking more about the family that were alive at that time. I wouldn't think for one moment that any of mine lived like the 'Bennetts', but the film just seemed so different this time, like watching it with a fresh pair of eyes, does that sound silly?

It sounds really impressive though Ann, having ancestors from Mayfair, get you LOL. After all my Ag Labs and Plasterers I've found a Compositer in the family. I thought for one minute it said Composter which wouldn't have been a great surprise, but no, on the next census he's a Typesetter/Compositer, so something different for me.

Nells threads will become as famous and entertaining as Ed's at this rate. Keep it up Nell. Fuzzy

Nell, I was concerned that your threads would create the wrong image of us Norfolk folk but then decided ....... 'Thas a rite lode of ole squit!' Ang

Mayfair?? Middle daughter was born in Mayfair and is the chavvy one :rolleyes: :P lol I'm glad I'm not up that way now as a local resident is on a food fast! She's not taking any food but is still drinking champange........

Mayfair was notorious for crawling with prostitutes, though they were high class compared with the East End.

Ohh Give me your west end rellies please I love 'em! :D After year of Ag labs ....... A dress maker or two are fun to look into
