Hi, Just to lighten things a little. I got a phone call last week that I had been named in a friends will. My inheritance, not money but an African Grey Parrot that talks with a Yorkshire accent. No offence to our Yorkshire members but when you are not used to it it takes some getting used to. Georgina

How wonderful that your friend entrusted their parrott to your care. They must have thought very long and hard to bequeth you a family pet. What a foward thinking person to ensure their beloved pet will be looked after when they have passed away. Enjoy caring for the parrott and think of your friend with love when you do. Viv.

I believe that Shakepeare in his will bequeathed his wife his "second best bed".
