Re: Back to how we were?

I want to go back to before the roman invasion.

Bring back morris dancing, yards of ale, vestal virgins, mother nature, daisy chains and laughs.

Re: Back to how we were?

I know my dog weighs ten kilos because I weighed him a few days ago. I know he has increased by 2 kilos since the last weigh-in but I don't have a clue what it means, I can't visualise it in anyway. If I tell myself he is one and a half stone, I can relate to that.

You may wish you hadn't if you ever realise the true cost of a gallon of fuel these days (multiply cost per litre by 4.546), it's quite a shock to the system and the wallet!

Yes, and also when diesel was 2p a litre cheaper so people then started buying diesels. Now it's about 4p a litre dearer and diesel cars have been 'demonised' as 'baddies' in terms of pollution so have lost value for that reason!

Liars all of them!
