 Such a pity milkmen are out of fashion. We knew who to blame in those days. 
Now you ladies get the milk at the supermarket there's hardly time for a 
quicky at the tills.

I don't know where all these tales of randy milkmen came from. Real milkmen 
never had a minute to spare. My pal's dad was a milkman, and he worked every 
hour dog gave him. He was up about 4am, loading up his van, and drove round 
the streets with a couple of milk boys running up and down people's paths 
carrying the bottles. He'd have finished his rounds before 8am, so everyone 
had fresh milk for their breakfast, and then he'd be back at the dairy 
(where I did some part time work for a while) where he'd maybe help in the 
shop, or be cleaning out the van (which always stank of sour milk however 
much you washed it). He was a hardworking man who barely saw his 
customers -most of them would be still asleep as he drove past their houses. 
It was us lot in the shop who actually met them when they came in to pay 
their weekly accounts. (Aye, and you wouldn't want to see most of that lot 
in slinky negliges, I can assure you!)

 Mornin' Edith & Ally.  Most of our posties are young girls - blondes 
mainly. - and a good job they do too. They do seem to wear shorts these 
days. Is this another sign of global warming?

Hve a good day on what is forecast as the hottest October day since 1800 and 
something. Maybe the posties will deliver in Bikinis?

It certainly was a lovely day. Maybe not bikinis, but it was back to short 
sleeved t-shirts at least.

Here in the former colonies, south of Barcelona and then a long way 
west, our posties have shorts as part of their uniform. They also wear 
pith helmets in summer.

Why pith helmets? Is it some kind of uniform to recognise them by?

Wonderful: after a week of crap weather, my #1 son and I did the whole
Helvellyn ridge yesterday. I was absolutely knackered, sore feet, sore
knees, and our wonderful boy ran the last 2 miles to get the car and save
me a mile or so of walking. What a great kid.

Isn't it wonderful when your kids start to "look after" you?

Sean Connery was an Edinburgh milko before he was James Bond.

Let's be charitable. I watched "Divorce Court" on TV the other day, and 
there was a woman divorcing her husband because he looked at websites 
featuring(and I quote) "Fatties and Grannies in clothes of a sexual 
nature". This offended his wife. The scorned woman herself was of 
proportions rarely seen outside the USA. The judge herself was shrieking 
with laughter and asking him if his wife's figure wasn't full enough for 
him.

I picked Sophie and Thomas, for no other reason than they were most like 
my two when they were little. Miss Pinny was a finalist in the Aberdeen

Mr Pinny and I got the train home on Thursday morning after our trip to 
NYC and then saw a bus standing by the station, and did a very unusual 
thing for people in my neighbourhood - we caught the bus. This is 
usually reserved for university students, domestic help and old people. 
We had to walk two blocks to our house. I was pulling my overnight case.

I said to Mr P that I bet that my neighbour would find some reason to be 
in her front yard as we arrived. Sure enough, she was on her way to her 
car. She hooted: "Oh my goodness! Did you run away and did he come and 
get you to bring you home?" For a split second (since she really is most 
outspokenly nosy person I have ever met) I was tempted to put on a wan, 
defeated look and not answer her, and let her think she'd guessed right, 
but my good humour and civility won over.

long time ago I had a nosy Chinese boss who loved to gossip about everybody.
I didn't care much for him and he was always hinting that my wife should go
visit his wife during the day since he lived on a few miles away.  We
managed to resist that since he had gone to Taiwan to purchase her after
wife #1 flew the coop and her command of the English language was worse
thatn Edith's.

Any way one day my neighbour across the street, a Delta flight attendant,
needed to go to the stores and her car had died.  So I gave her and young
child a ride and we walked into Kmart, her dressed in tight shorts and shirt
pushing the stroller.  As we walk down the aisles who should be coming the
other way but Wang Fah Sen.  I said good morning and walked on.  Must have
given him much grist for his rumour mill.

When was that then, Rex. In the early 50s Nobody wears them those straps,

He has a name which sounds a bit like Cumbrian dialect for something 
about the distant past.

I have just purchased my Saturday morning breakfast rolls at the local 
deli, where their command of the English language is entertaining. In 
true NY deli style, they have posters describing their various gourmet 
sandwiches, and each sandwich has a snappy name, like "The Manhattan" or 
the "Reuben". One of them is the deathly dull-sounding "Long Beach Road 
Sandawich" (very difficult to order without sounding Latin American). 
This is filled with turkey, pastrami, Swiss Cheese, lettuce, tomato and 
spiced up with honey "mastered". Another is the "Healthy Alternative" 
and which is grilled chicken, with onions and roasted paper, served on a 
hero roll.

Loved the front page of the Post this morning: "Bush's Brains Leaked".

 I guessed that there must be such a programme, surely. It is a selling 
channel, isn't it?  From what I remember of girls in the 50's, bra's were 
worn.  Where were you in the 50's? At a nudist beach? I know there was a 
rash of burning your bra's but it never caught on in the fens. It was more 
front page of the Daily Mirror than anywhere real.
Had a good day?

Rex.

Evening Rex. I've had a good day, besides, at the moment having migraine,
thought I had kicked it but, no, it had to take a grip again. The best that
happened today was that Orly bought food for 100,- so I'll be called over
to his house all next week and I'd better be at my best or he may advertise
for a new kitchen maid. On the way back from the shop we saw a beautiful big
moose. The way he galloped (I know that's not the right word) across the
fields and over the road was just magnificent. He had a few seconds when he
stretched his neck out and pulled his ears back and I thought he would
either turn back or attack us, but no, the beautiful beast kept his pace and
ran into the woods just by us. We always stop when we see an animal that
plans to cross the road and Orly turns off the motor. I praise the wild
animals of Norway.

Edith-didn't have camera with her :0(

I think you'll find the "Long Beach Road Sandawich" is named for the stretch
of road where Santino 'Sonny' Corleone met his untimely demise while rushing
to beat the crap out of his brother in law.

Al - former resident of Long Beach

It's my cross street, as they call them! Fortunately I live north of 
Sunrise (and south of The Moat).

That reminds me of a song called "Do your ears hang low?" that my son 
sang in Cub Scouts. Only you replace the "ears" with whatever's appropriate.

Do your ears hang low?
Do they waggle to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder,
Like a regimental soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

I'm sure I have! I don't watch nearly enough films. Mind you, I've probably 
seen the eponymous* Ms Moore without taking note of her name, as I have a 
notoriously seive-like memory for names.

 Neither did we when we went to Corby yesterday by the filed road. What a 
sight! At least 20 Red Kites all soaring together over a field. I think it 
must be the adults with this year's broods. They will soon disperse to their 
own hunting areas.

Sounds wonderful, Rex. Soaring over the field. Was it a buzzard thing, do
you think. Some form of food down there for them?

Edith.
