SILENCE all around!! Apparently I should have said 'eraser', I was politely advised. A 'rubber' came in a pack of three, apparently! At least they did way back when. Dunno about today!

	Aaaah, when we moved to West Wales many moons ago my husband went to the local shop to get kindling for the Rayburn. Having moved from the Essex/Herts borders kindling = faggots. When he asked the shop keeper for faggots she went to the freezer and plonked a box of 4 in gravy in the counter... Husband "how am I supposed to light the fire with those?" That little convo was laughed about for many years :-D

	An exchange between a British HCA assistant with a new Italian member of staff who had been interacting with a patient. "He's coming on to you" "Eh?" "He's chatting you up" "Eh?" "He wants to be your boyfriend" "Oh no, no, no " As it happens, there are a number of EU & other nationalities employed at the same place. Their colloquial English is probably better than the patients born & raised there.

Although it isn't funny we had to laugh when she told us that the Indian doctor spoke very fast and they had a job to understand,but her husband explaining how he had fallen said...... I just went for a Burton ...wonder what the doctor made of that?
