Naughty "Tracey"

[adonirum]

Don't know if this is old stuff. Daily Mail today. Tut Tut!! Looks like the Village. Maybe got previous for not looking where she's going, as she bumped into me (about 2 yrs ago) in Iceland!!

Think the OP's referring to Kate Ford, actress and woman of this parish, being reprimanded a couple of days ago for tweeting a picture of the schoolrun gridlock from her car, from the look of it up near the South Circ end of the village. There's been a lot of news coverage this week about the huge numbers of people who still phone, text or check emails while driving.

Yesterday I ended up shouting at several myself, particularly the driver of a huge Boots lorry who was looking at his phone in traffic by Lambeth Bridge as I had to cycle across in front of him and it was clear he wasn't looking despite revving his engine.

It seems her son is called "Otis"

I'm wondering if that is continuing the Beckham trend of naming your children after where they were conceived.

Please tell me this is a lift-manufacturer gag, Mick?!

[Mick Mac]

Indeed. Brilliant innit.

[pablogrande]

The Beckham's weren't the first to do it, that was Van Morrison's parents

[Robert Poste's Child]

Is that in a van or in Morrison's? Or both? The mind boggles.

You're getting the hang of the local dialect Mick. Well done. I just can't bring myself around to say it yet.

Otis Reading maybe? Out in the Shires?

"In the gents at Scamps" doesn't roll off the tongue though

One of Victoria Wood's characters points out that it can take several days for the sperm to fertilise the egg, so you could think you conceived after a romantic dinner on a Thursday but the moment might actually be while waiting for the checkout at B&Q on Sunday morning.

Or the other way round RPC...

[Robert Poste's Child]

Though, as she said, you'd need a bigger aisle for that.

Is this why there are so many singles in the 'self checkout' queue? Indeed is 'self-checkout' the new D.I.Y?

[Robert Poste's Child]

Certainly sounds like a euphemism now you mention it.
