Whatever you say, Ani.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, Eloise. No deep-fried Mars Bars, no go. <BR/><BR/>SCW, you are beginning to baffle. I don’t really speak Idaho I’m afraid!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the suggestion, Beth. It had better be good. <BR/><BR/>Rose, someone called up the newspaper to complain about the economy? I know journalists are a shabby bunch, but I hardly think they should have to take responsibility for the financial meltdown. Or should they?<BR/><BR/>Lala, you’re right. The town motto is ‘If it moves, batter it (but only in the flour and egg sense. We abhor physical violence.)’ It’s a bit unwieldy as town mottos go, but its heart is in the right place. (The deep fat fryer.) <BR/> <BR/>Caroline, yes, he was pleased. It made me realise afresh, families can be quite cool.La Bêtehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05934460455824439786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3971077270766122919.post-80646138168132839582008-10-14T15:35:00.000+01:002008-10-14T15:35:00.000+01:00"you'd only get battered."Ha.

I have to agree it was pretty weird, but there are some really good people there, only some of whom are mad.<BR/><BR/>But I am dead bored and I think you should come to Leeds and have lunch with me. Although I don't think you can get deep-fried Mars bars over here, so I can see that the allure would be lacking.
