Re: Can You Whistle?
I used to whistle all the time in the noisy engineering factory where I worked, I used to sing loud too and nobody bothered, except to join in with some of the songs I whistled.I can still knock out the odd tune while I'm cooking my dinner, (you should hear my Nessun dorma) but Maddie the cat dives for cover and Mrs Fox shuts herself in the lounge.....I don't know why...

Lift your tongue and curl it towards the roof of the mouth, then pop two fingers each side underneath your tongue and clamp your lips over the fingers - then blow.
That's the best way I can describe it without demonstrating.

Me too, Dex, but not as good as I used to.
