Yeah maybe but we can all play this PC lingo out and me far better than thee
methinks, cos end o'the day when I were a nipper I 'ad a dog, an 'e were
older than me, cos 'e were the first living thing I ever see'd as the
midwife reckoned as we'd 'ave to get used to each other. No nice clean
hospital delivery's in those days this was the old times when cars were any
colour you liked so long as it was black.
Fortunately these days I do not have such a thing as a service ferret cos I
ain't sure as you would like one down your trousers :)
