the ending seems sleepless in Seattle or some such film

i do like the disjointed narrative between second and third lines

i think this has potential; but i would move forward with only the first 3 maybe 4 lines

Very amusing Alison - unfortunately they seemed to have started the Christmas music in Sainsburys but must asmit they seem to have delayed it from mid-November, which iis when it normally starts.

Thank you for the comments - you are right about the sprouts! I'm toying with adding something in about being over-faced with plates and guest places.

I loved the down to earth Ozzie humour - it is in keeping my own. I can remember a huge bill board encouraging people not to litter. It said 'Don't be a tosser, take your rubbish with ya!' Could you imagine our goverment allowing anything like that to go up in this country?

My clever wife won it all as a prize promoted by Mr and Mrs Hotels in conjunction with Waterstones. So it was boutique hotels all the way. Great! In Byron Bay - a fantastic place - we were in this big 'Tuscan' villa with never more than one other couple there. Just us and the 'housekeeper' looking after our every need! I've just done this poem about the Byron Bay Lighthouse. I'll bung it on and see what you make of it. Might still need a bit of tinkering.

Hi David. Were you staying with friends or in hotels in Australia, or a bit of both? What amazed me was the richness of the Australian language. So many different words for everyday things that we'd never heard before. So many of them very comic! I started writing them down but gave up in the end and have now lost the notebook anyway. I suppose someone has published an English-Australian phrasebook by now ... maybe I'll have a look for it on Amazon ...

You forgot to mention the stinky brussel sprouts that only appear on the table at Christmas. This made me smile - you paint the upside down nature of it all very well. x

Original item by Freda Davis

Well done for protesting Freda! They should tax all the rich and give it to me. Then when I've spent it all, they should tax them all again.

I don't know about bankers fleeing abroad cos of their bonuses not being as big... My children will certainly end up going abroad if they want a degree now - to Australia - where they have citizenship and cheaper education - and so we have a brain drain - and a heart drain...

Hello L
Thanks for your comments on Pit and Pendulum.
I didn't realise that I ran on "saw inside" to make it sound like "saw rinside". Just a laziness of pronunciation on my part, I expect.
Do you find regional variations in English hard to understand or are you OK with these differences?
I worked in Scotland some time ago at a factory where there were a lot of Polish workers. They could not understand me but could understand perfectly the locals (from Glasgow) whom I could not understand!
