My God Freda...bring it on. A night in front of Corrie will never seem quite the same again.
I blush at the very thought of rummaging for that 'loose' change. What have you done?!!

Hi Freda,
very good. ha ha.
I reckon it must have been a woman who invented slanted pockets in mens trousers.
She deserves a medal.

Freda - I remember well your performance of this at the Hebden WOL night. It was absolutely the highlight of the night. A gift to us all this little gem of a poem. Brilliant stuff. Winston x

Hi Freda,
I'm not sure what it says about my armchairs, but I usually end up with no more than a handful of fluff! Irreverent and bawdy - that's the stuff! May I suggest you drop in here?:
