Snob

Many years ago, I was walking down the road with my mother. The chap walking in front was wearing a suit - not super smart, but ok. Perhaps he was a bank clerk or something.

He turned off. My mother waited for him to be out of earshot, then said "It doesn't matter how smart their suit is, does it - if someone walks with their toes pointing out like that they just look common, don't they?"

I laughed and laughed and laughed.

My mother all over.

  • very funny post.

    Think you need to re-publish your blog... the sidebar etc is missing hre.

    Someone well meaning once gave my mother-in-law a book of Shakespeare sonnets. I said, in a moment of weakness I shall always regret, 'the problem with Shakespeare is all the cliches' and very stupid mother-in-law said 'I hadn't thought of that before, but, gosh, you're right'.

    She meant it. A very silly woman.

  • I've been having all sorts of IT problems today. I didn't touch this so it seems to have sorted itself out.

    Oh, and you're welcome.

  • My email went down completely, and I couldn't get into Blogger. Apart from that, everything was fine.

    The email was my ISP's fault, and they've sorted it except that everyone will have to resend anything they sent me since Friday lunchtime. Fine, I said, but who are they? Don't know, they said.

    *sigh*

    And I'm obviously back on here now.
