I love your witty verse, very high quality, you are indeed talented.
Like the user name too, sure ya can’t beat the English for a good drop of cider, great on a hot day.
Just post anything that springs to mind, as long as it’s not political discussion, there’s plenty of sections for that.
There are no specific subjects in scribbles.
-----Before I was diagnosed with Parkinson's 22 years ago I was a first rate manager/area manager.
Since my early days when shopping in the high street.I want to tell store staff their failings, oh yes I do and I have.
Nurse Gillian, my carer ignores me first, then her eyes turn glassy , curving in to each other & finally she abandons me.
But hold fast, I have a story to tell, try to keep up. Did I tell the tale I was subjected to, by the delicatessen section leader in my local Waitrose.I
I asked a dear lady standing next to me if she could recommend a product & she immediastel relayed to me how exquisite was the TONGUE IN CIDER. I hadn’t time to unravel her words before the sales assistant Miss Donegan, flicked her untethered hair carelessly over the product display, leaned toward me, saying
“How can I help you?”
“I’d like to take away with me thick slices of Ham”
“Right you are, sir” she said. & handed me SIX slices of ham.
“No dear”, I responded, with gracious courtesy I thought.
“No dear I asked for THICK slices of ham”
IT was pointless. After further exchange I decided to accept the SIX THICK, slices at a cost of £9.63 and dump the wrapped parcel of ham in with the yoghurts.
Drat my deteriorating memory. I completey forgot I had the ham & found myself at the cash point, with no way of dumping the ham, so I paid for it and left.
