Re: The Differences Explained - Quite simple really

We have tea at 4 PM most days & from a quaint Laura Ashley tea set,"Cottage Sprig", unfortunately now out of production. I have managed to make up a few breakages from a firm specialising in extinct patterns.

I have the remainders of a Wedgwood set "Doric" also unobtainable & which I offered to them, but it's quite common they said. I thought that describing one of Wedgwoods patterns as "common" was well out of order innit?.

I had a quaint little blue, brown, and orange Teapot made in 1935 by Clarice Cliff, it was in an accident one night and got smashed off the wall, shame really, I'd say it was worth a few bob.

I've got a quaint little Jack Russell I could cheerfully throttle, he's chewed all the seed pearls off my new bedding. Not daft though he's not swallowed them he left them on the bed. I wondered why he'd gone upstairs.

When we got our little terrier a couple of months ago, the wife was going to try to get a Jack Russell, quint or unquaint, it didn't matter, but one of her friends told her they were devils for ripping up things so she changed her mind, this little fella is a great dog.

Maybe I am quaint as well - As I was carrying all the grandchildren's presents from the car into her house this morning my daughter was on the doorstep laughing at me. (No she didn't help 'cos it was raining and she didn't want to get wet). She called me a wibbly wobbly Weeble. Anyone remember the Weebles, they "wibbled and wobbled and never fell down".

A blast from the past, the 1970s in fact. There are loads of them on Ebay
