True Love!

An 80-year old woman was arrested for shoplifting.
When she went before the judge he asked her, "What did you
steal?"

She replied, "A can of peaches."

The judge then asked her why she had stolen the can of peaches and
she replied that she was hungry.

The judge then asked her how many peaches were in the can.
She replied, "6."

The judge said, "Then I will give you 6 days in jail."

Before the judge could conclude the trial, the woman's
husband spoke up and asked the judge if he could say something.

The judge said, "Yes, what is it?"

The husband said,
"She also stole a can of peas."

Family of man left under car park for half a millennium blames NHS

The family of a man who lay for more than 500 years beneath a car park in Leicestershire "without once receiving medical attention" is to sue the NHS for negligence.

Campaigners have demanded a public enquiry into the death of Richard Plantagenet, who also suffered "centuries of abuse" from historians.

Mr Plantagenet was only 32 when he sustained serious injuries in the Battle of Bosworth Field during the course of his job as King of England.

Relatives of the dead man said employers had breached health and safety rules by failing to make clear the dangers of the job, which included regular pitched battles, defending the realm against foreign invasion and putting down rival claims to the throne.

The family also claim Mr Plantagenet, who suffered chronic back problems, was routinely bullied by colleagues about his appearance.
A preliminary investigation found that on the day he died Mr Plantagenet had gone into battle with substandard armour offering little protection from the broadsword, longbow and mace.

Government sources argue that Mr Plantagenet was aware that violent death was an occupational hazard.

Investigators reserved particular criticism for NHS staff, who failed to spot signs of depression despite Mr Plantagenet's frequent complaints of a "winter of discontent".

Relatives said that Mr Plantagenet might have survived his injuries had paramedics been quicker to reach the scene. One said: "He just stood there shouting for help, but an ambulance never came. Richard even tried to buy a horse to take him to hospital, but there wasn't one available at any price."

A post mortem concluded that cuts were a contributory factor in the death, which was "almost certainly avoidable".

Robert Francis QC was unavailable for comment.

A devout Arab Muslim entered a black cab in London. He curtly asked the cabbie to turn off the radio because as decreed by his religious teaching, he must not listen to music because in the time of the prophet there was no music, especially Western music which is the music of the infidel.
The cab driver politely switched off the radio, stopped the cab and opened the door.

The Arab Muslim asked him, "What are you doing? "

The cabbie answered, "In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so [edited by admin] off and wait for a camel!"

Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Italian border.

The Italian Customs agent stops them and tells them: "Itsa illegal to putta fiva people ina Quattro."

"What do you mean it's illegal?" asked the Englishmen.

"Quattro means four" replies the Italian official.

"Quattro is just the name of the automobile," the Englishmen retort disbelievingly.

"Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry 5 persons."

"You can'ta pulla thata one ona me," replies the Italian customs agent.

"Quattro means four. You hava fiva people ina your car and you are therefore breakin'a the law".

The Englishmen replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your supervisor over - I want to speak to someone with more intelligence!"

"Sorry," responds the Italian official, "he can'ta come. He'sa busy with 2 guys in a Uno."

Eating in The UK in The 50's















For those of you who are old enough to remember enjoy.
For the rest - it's a history lesson!!


Very surprising how time and memory has taken its toll.

Have things really changed this much in our time?



EATING IN THE UK IN THE FIFTIES
Pasta had not been invented.
Curry was a surname.
A takeaway was a mathematical problem.
A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.
Bananas and oranges only appeared at Christmas time.
All crisps were plain; the only choice we had was whether to put the
Salt on or not.
A Chinese chippy was a foreign carpenter.
Rice was a milk pudding, and never, ever part of our dinner.
A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining.
Brown bread was something only poor people ate.
Oil was for lubricating, fat was for cooking
Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves and never green.
Coffee was Camp, and came in a bottle.
Cubed sugar was regarded as posh.
Only Heinz made beans.
Fish didn't have fingers in those days.
Eating raw fish was called poverty, not sushi.
None of us had ever heard of yoghurt.
Healthy food consisted of anything edible.
People who didn't peel potatoes were regarded as lazy.
Indian restaurants were only found in India .
Cooking outside was called camping.
Seaweed was not a recognised food.
"Kebab" was not even a word never mind a food.
Sugar enjoyed a good press in those days, and was regarded as being
White gold.
Prunes were medicinal.
Surprisingly muesli was readily available, it was called cattle feed.
Pineapples came in chunks in a tin; we had only ever seen a picture of
A real one.
Water came out of the tap, if someone had suggested bottling it and
Charging more than petrol for it they would have become a laughing stock.
The one thing that we never ever had on our table in the fifties .. Was elbows!
