You know gornisht from Orpington.
My Tory is called Gareth Bacon.Quote:

I doubt Sir C's Lib Dem candidate will be able to see a victory....

I just looked Elfreda up. A muscular Christian type who enjoys striding through Scottish Islands and French Alps and who, if I'm any judge, wouldn't know one end of a cock from the other.Quote:

It's all becoming terribly London and Essex over-spill in these parts.
London types selling their one bedroom flats and buying a mansion here. That sort of thing...
I live in Ware in Hertfordshire and noticed something rather charming about the town's Latin motto when the council sent me the bill for my allotment. The Motto is 'Cave', which is Latin, of course, for 'Beware'.Quote:
