You said no discounting over Christmas then, you put on Snakebook that you were discounting. You do talk out of your rusty tea towel holder at times Skip.

As they say "Whatever floats your boat" :D

No wonder this country is in a mess, also making me realise as to why English governments went traipsing around the planet marauding and pillaging other countries...........like their taxi drivers they got fu%^ing lost :D I would not go as far as saying that any English government has found its way as it is now pillaging its own citizens........but their bluddy taxi drivers are still getting lost.

I will put on my best Welsh accent; Well it is like this see..........in one direction from Cardiff is Bridgend..see! the opposite direction even by Welsh standards is not fu%^ing Weston super Mare...see! you see, the opposite direction would be toward Newport..Magor...Chepstow....and then across the "Chepstow" bridge you are then in England. The bottom line is that by boat or land neither one of you two are getting the job :wink:

You just do not get it do you :D The above is a classic example as to how much quicker the Welsh are in thinking terms than the English!

If it was an English situation whereby someone had said whose is this coat? and then realised that in actual fact it was not a coat, it was a jacket! they would have then said something like....."O'dear...so sorry....wah wah wah waffle waffle waffle.... silly me, chuckle chuckle chuckle, O'dear it is not a coat it is someone's jacket....O'dear ha ha ha, oh whatever was I thinking".

Now in a Welsh situation the mistake is recognised straight away, as I will now illustrate the thinking is light years ahead!

The original article recognised as a coat has been instantaneously without any fuss or palaver, and quite rightfully so .......has been correctly recognised as a "Jacket". The summarisation/rectification takes 5 words to put it right, and as you can see it takes out all of the time wasting and the waffle that goes with it...it may be simple thinking but it is very effective as it allows more quality time for us to find our way around the country without getting lost on land or sea :D

No. You have got that one out and out wrong..............
Quote:

...the question is......."which one belongs to the Englander"? :D

Okay I never said we were perfect! However once again you bring to the attention of others our desire to be correct in our direction. If the truth be known......it is not just wellies.....it is YELLOW glow in the dark wellies.....you see! In the dark we can see exactly where we are lost.....cant do that....can you :lol:
