Why do you accuse me of being so English? Are you under the impression they hate the Turks too? :lol:

Or is it that you hate both the English and Oracle, so they must be synonymous?

Lovely strawberries for tea earlier. Toasted Muffins for breakfast tomorrow (with Highland Heather Honey :wink: )

:lol:



YOU make my mouth water. I bet you are enjoying the cool damp weather of yours, while the Cypriots are frying in the sun. :lol:

You do know more about England than you do Cyprus. If they had the Nationality test in Cyprus, you would fail dismally, whereas the English one would be no problem :lol:


Funny ..... it was only last week you were all accusing me of being a peasant ... :lol:

Or are you just being Turkish with the truth? :wink:



Are you deliberately trying to fail the Nationality test? I dont dig your grammar.

If you called me a peasant I would be preoud of it. Perhaps you will point out to me where I called you a peasant. I dont easily give away honours like that. :lol:


Gawd you have such a poor memory. :roll: You really must try our Olive Oil. 8)

That's OK Deniz I don't take it as an insult ... I am always the first to label myself a peasant, it is most pleasant to me :lol: (but not I may add t'others :wink: ).

Oh, and of course the all time classic Waterloo Sunset. I saw Ray Davies live a couple of times and he was great, very entertaining. Donovan is brilliant live too, but I have a suspicion that he is actually Irish...

I have a few more for the list:

Sandwiches
Mary Quant (who apparently is English despite the fact her parents are Welsh)
'Penny for the Guy'
Monty Python
Ronnie Barker
Spitfires
Dame Vera Lynn
'Carry On' films (Sid James, gyah hyah hyah) :lol:


Donovan's actually Scottish, born in Glasgow, but moved to Hertfordshire when he was 10. Because the English countryside influenced much of his earlier music, one might argue that at least his music, if not he himself, is a product of England.

Have a good rest purdey .... :D

Could we include the "Mini" car and the Swingeing Sixties (even though the Hippie movement was born in California).

Has anyone mentioned Monty Python?

Like the delicate finale with the Cow pats which provide a little interest on long walks :wink:

O. dearest, that was not calling you a peasant. If you look at the context, you will see that it is synonymous with, rustic, rural living. We were discussing the the 'Good Loife'. Remember? :lol:
