Thanks Scotkat. I've PMd you. Craig, it would be lovely if all call-centre staff were as well-trained as those in your company. My...
Thanks, David, for the advice. I suppose if my local florist continues to sell them at 50p each it's hardly worth bothering with trying to keep...
Just a thought with regard to your daughter, Roz, because as she gets older and might start to become inquisitive you might want to be careful...
I've had a look at this thread again after several days and was rather alarmed by Lyn's horror story about Virgin. Still, others seem to have had...
I think you'll find sweet peas are pretty tough customers, despite their lovely fragrant flowers. I usually sow mine in pots in the autumn and...
Many happy returns of the day, LoL .

Sounds like you're getting it confused with an aria from Turandot! :D It's a bad time for me to get it on my mind; I'm just about to set...
I saw a TV play recently (freeview channel I think)about a retired couple who moved back to their seedy childhood seaside hometown. The wife meets...

I seem to remember that the outward symptoms of this disease include pallid skin, reddish eyes and sensitivity to light. It's thought that...
